I agree, this whole tire flip flop bullshit is starting to get old and quick. If they would just stick with something and leave it alone would be great, 8 rims with 8 tires and be done with it. I thought the 8's were fine last year, as long as they didn't come apart, i ran my lefts all year, had 2 RFs come apart (and mcoll's/tire company didn't do shit for me, but did other's, so 250$ down the drain) but once they were heat cycled they were great and i never shaved a single one, just heat cycled so 6 tires for a year is a lot better than 2 every 2/3 nights 4 if you stretched em. Guess well see, time will tell what happens and how it goes.

Awesome turn out at the drivers meetings. The trucks are looking promising. I wasn't totally fimiliar with everyone at the meeting and want to put a list of everyone who was there. Does anyone know everyone who was there? I'm excited for the 7 inch tires since both our trucks planned on running them this year anyways. I do feel bad for all the guys that went out and bought 8's though.
P.S Is anyone one running #43?~Dave Bacon
