Nothing that a careful application of Kiwi shoe polish couldn't remedy -- eh, mate?  Kiwi can do!

Please note:  I'm just being sarcastic.  Not everyone here has seen "World's Fastest Indian".

I have talked with several that were involved and--just like always---  once it gets past ORIGINAL source   it is subject to distortion.  Had nothing to do with LSR tires. It was Front Runners on Rear drive axle---not having heard original conversation I am not even going to attempt to report o

other than to say Manufactured to be LSR were not implicated in any way.

There are front runners that are only rated to 200... and for short distance... A friend found that out after he spun.  Goodyear site on some of the front runners has changed the description.  He fixed his tire problem with a trip to the Goodyear trailer for tire$. I think he is now working on his CG/CP issues.
