Roadrunners/Camarillo is doing full USVTA and a bunch of us other numbnuts are climbing on with our UF1 21.5 extras and it's a blast too.
Question I have for you is, do the slicks hang in there better on asphalt than the treaded sneakers? cuz I'm the guy that fries them in a couple days and that sucks.
And is there any advantage performance wise with either slicks or treaded?
Just sayin.
Not trying to start more controversy but longevity would be nice
Well Cuda, #1 I really don't know about the longevity angle. I have tried the slicks at one point when a local had some. They were actually worse than the treads on carpet, but I don't know if they needed to be broken in, etc. IT was a while ago. That was only a run, so I have no idea if they last longer. I tend to doubt it, only because it's the same rubber.
At the same time, it has always been one tire since there is no tire game or head games for that matter. It will stay that way.
One thing I have to ask, are you running 21.5? That may not be helping your tire smoking ways...LOL
