John,
I'd never heard of the "dime" test, maybe it's a
Canadian thing. Was mostly just messing with
you, but if those tires are more than a year old
I wouldn't get to carried away making car changes
till you got some fresh rubber on it. Tom at
Mid Atlantic would be glad to sell some
tires. Personally at this point I'd wait till next
spring to replace em. You guys have got to be
about ready to hibernate eh?
Things to ask Tom about that will just brighten
his day( and likely yours )
...really lightweight rims, best when asked in person if you weigh about
275+ lbs.
...super low air pressure, say 6-7 lbs.
...tell him you are part of a formula SAE team
...ask him about discounts on tires, you heard he gives some guys 30%
off list.
...wait all day until you see him eating dinner and ask if he can mount
those
tires you got last winter while you wait, after all you need em for
first heat next morning.
He might just share an opinion.
If the filters on Eric's list allow it, let us know how it turns out.
And as a last resort if none of that works you can go ahead and
mention my name!
Dave Phaneuf
