I don't have the technical expertise on the running tire conversation, but I have an idea. Let's all just drive our cars so much that we get back to the basics of wearing out the tread! I figure through some very complex calculations that if driven the way the forefathers of the tiger intended, we shouldn't get more than 2.897 years (except in a leap year) out of our street tires.

Well... if I had a set of our forefather's 5.90-13's , they wouldn't last me
more than 2.897 weeks... even after rotating them front to back, lol!

My 245/50-14's are date coded 1981 & 1982 ! They actually 'look' perfect as
the car has been indoors for probably 99.99% of that time ... not very
sticky though
Coker is finally making a new batch ( been unavailable for several years )
and I was hoping to have them for the TU autocross but their having trouble
with the molds and might not have them ready for another month or 2 ...

I am a little leery about buying Coker tires. A few years ago I bought a pair
of the Coker Classic redline tires for my Jaguar. It turns out they only used
1 ply in the sidewall (this is something they don't list in the specs). These
tires were so squishy they were unsafe and I had to remove them.
