That's a good question. I think it safe to say you can stay with the same shore. When Ralph changed from running Jaco to Capricorn we stayed with the same shores. We pretty much run 35 fronts with 37 rears for qly's and for the main it all depends on tire wear. If we can get away with the 35,37 combo for the main we will. If not then we go a little harder. Ralph is really good on the whole tire thing. Sometimes we have ran 4 different shores. Like 37 lf, 35 rf 42lr, 40rr. So it just depends on the wear. But I think it would safe too say you could go with the same shores. Hope that helps.

Thanks Drew
