going to big willow on 22nd, but just noticed that my Toyo T1-S have cracks around the edges of the tread. It's probably due to age/heat, since they're about 2.5yrs old.

The tyres still have plenty of tread on them, but would it be okay to run them on a road course? Should I get new tyres?

yshi - who'd show pix, but hasn't seen his digicam in a few weeks

 

run what j00 brung!

my tyres are also a few years old and have some cracks...

I would order the new set (to have as back up) and take the T1-S's to the event and burn them to the ground.

 

I'll be using last years Expo tires again this year.

Just check those T1's for tread separation and condition once in a while.

 

c00l, the 280treadwear is prolly like a 500 now

yshi - who hopes tread separation doesn't occur...firestone :shivers:

 

Just keep an eye on them so they don't go to pieces and shred your tiiite volks and your fender...

 

I wouldn't worry about it - it's from ozone pollution - you likely have more of that stuff in SoCal.

The steel belt carcass will keep the tire together - the worst you will get is a flat.

Check tire pressure often

 

You can also try Meguirs tire treatment, forgot the name, next time but it prevents cracks and other stuff like that.

 

You had to spell tires the way George does didn't you

 

i've always spelled it tyre along w/ centre

yshi - who thinks it's just wrong to spell it tire...speaking of "it's just wrong" anybody listen/watch the show on howard stern's show? LOL!

 

C5s are 1.8 litres.

 

Don't put any **** on the tires. Just run them til they cord.
