WYD: Pay the tire truer?? Heck no, an automatic Corally lathe set me back enough, it was paid for and will never see another red cent! I was surprised, it never got the least bit warm nor hesitated in cutting all of those tires... i set it at 59 and let it fly... no smoke or anything like that... its a damn good truer. It really didnt cut the tires off in powder form like i have seen some other truers do, it came off in layers, like i was peeling a skin off of an orange. Tires were true and smooth, so i aint complaining! It does suck to have to cut them down that much, but i guess there are some things you have to pay for no matter what you may want. It would be nice if JACO sold tires precut to 60mm and knocked 5$ off of the price. I wouldnt mind paying 14.95 for a set of tires that made less work for me. You know they are making a killing on tires at 18$ a set!
