You can think whatever you want, but I can go through two or three pairs of the slicks and have a lot more fun than a street tire for the same price. The company who sells them hand selects them based on different parameters to make sure that the tires are in as good of shape as new, just with less tread.



I wouldn't be doing it unless the rears were in great shape, which they are. I have not experienced any issues with different heat up points or whatever. I'll keep an eye out for what you're warning me of, but chances are I'll pay $800 less per set of Hoosiers and deal with a little imperfection
