My outdoor short course racing season is over today. My only tires on the front for the season were dd's, and for the rears I'd switch between dd's and calibers. I like the dd's, but more than half the lugs are ripped clean off, and my calibers look brand new. Both of the sets have seen the same amount of use. Should I buy another set of dd's and hope they hold up? Or try something new?
Thanks;

Eventually tires wear out...

I understand tires wear out, they didn't wear out the lugs broke off the casing. The pins are still nearly full length. Sorry I can't while my ass with hundred dollar bills, so therefore I'd rather not replace tires every three hours of use.

The gears are machined instead of molded; this gives you a much truer running gear for better gear mesh. The slipper-pad is also captured in a deeper pocket that better holds the pads. The gear also has markings to tell you what tooth count it is without removing.
They are in transit via slow boat; so a couple more weeks.

I also wanted to comment on your tires. I've been mounting a bunch of new rubber as of late and I've noticed that your tires mount and balance so much easier it's rediculous. Thank you!
