You can always run them through a kerosene bath to soften them up.

Wow, how good is this. My daughter on the left (some 20 odd years ago), and my grand daughter on the right.

Did the WD-40 / Kerosene thing to my tires and it worked. Made them as sticky as when they were new for about 1 event before hardening back up.

Hahaha. Sharyn's in the lounge room doing her zumba stuff in front of the telly. When I came out of the office moments ago, she was into this slow hip thrust wiggle movement thing. I couldn't resist, I crept up behind her and joined in (real close). Hehehe, she got the giggles and mucked up her timing. Hehehehe. I got stuff thrown at me again.

Bwahahaha!

I thought the pink was dye but I see in that video it was a wig. The blue looks like dye. You know she's a natural blonde, right?

Searchin' for tires. The ones on the 911 are just about flat down to the wear bars. I've got Nitto NT-05s on right now and have been happy with them. But do I "upgrade" to the R-compound NT01s? Or go for Toyo R888s or R1Rs? Supposedly the Ra1 is the same compound as the NT01s (as Nitto is a division of Toyo). Or how about the Falken Azeni FK615s?
