No, but do check the date codes on them. "Competition" tires like that can get heat cycled out quickly and/or rapidly get dry and hard with age. At which point they need to be replaced.

Can lead to some unpredictable handling where they will let go w/o warning. Ask me how I know.

Maybe... October? I can intro you to my 86/BRZ buddies. We're already planning a small meet at Daikoku PA again.
That would be cool. I just usually spend time with family when I am there. I don't get to see them often enough and my grandmother is getting too old to travel here. I have 6 first cousins here, I have 17 over there.
