Is soccer the one with the round ball, and guys run around and do ridiculously bad acting falls to the ground dying, then a guy comes out with magic spray and they are all better, and an exciting game ends 0-0, then all the fans start rioting?




I'm just messin' with you soccer fans....

Head of the Russian Mafia (I think they call him Putin) has asked his posse to behave, no rioting with foreign supporters!! See if they can resist the urge!! I suppose their first game may have helped to divert their anger, happy comrades with a 5-0 win!

Dilemma:. Im going on a 600 mile round trip road trip to NY for the weekend. Do I take an hour to change out my almost-at-wear-bars re71rs for my all season set, or pray I have enough tread to make it and that it won't surprise rain.

The re71rs came on the wheels I bought second-hand so I'm just using them up.

Also, and more importantly, do I make a poll in one of the other forum sections and brave the trolls.

Is the wear uneven or even?

Any rain in the forecast? If not I'd say you're fine.

The rears are worn to shit on the outside, but the inside and middle are fine, and I think we have some stock camber back there anyway. The worst of the wear is actually further outside than the contract patch.

Fonts are pretty even from what I can tell.

No rain in forecast until late next week.

I'd suggest you change the tires before the trip, then you don't have to worry about it the whole trip...

As long as you aren't trying to do any spirited driving you should be fine. RE71R become slippery and shitty if they get too many heat cycles on them.

With the set that I had, they were getting unpredictable and kinda scary even though they visually had tread left.

Northern hemisphere? Mid June? Pop up severe thunderstorm prone region? Unfamiliar roads?


Change the tires.

Hmmmmm... I guess I'll see what time is left over after work and packing, and possibly lawnmowing...

Pretty familiar with the route, area, and people (literally on that last one lol) since I am originally from the Hudson Valley. I should be fine for tonight, and if Sunday turns to crap suddenly, I'm sure I can find a tire place open if I need to.
