    Crossing my fingers I can get both days out of my rear slick... If not, STS will be getting more of my money again. Anyone know if the new pavement is as tire-hungry as the old stuff?

    There is NO comparison.

    Check out my picture on this thread. I never ever had a tire look like that at Putnam.
