You guys are a bunch of babies. :D

In May I drove from Manassas, VA to Lexington, Ohio (Mid Ohio) and back ~450 miles one way. My well set up 944 had a "aggressive" rear alignment because the guy I bought it from had some 9" wheels in the back. I never had it realigned. I drove the car to and from the track (as I always do) on this ancient set of tires.

I did notice that they were getting a tad bald when I mounted back on the car for the ride home.

This is how they came off. :eek::eek:

the point is that one should take prudent measures to reduce risk

he does not want to be doing handsprings to get away from the car as it rolls over & over

and... he will not be driving a well set up 994

Those are great looking tires compared to what I drove on:

OK. Not really. I flat spotted these coming down the hill to 10a at Road Atlanta on really cold day.
