That's your own judgment call as to how safe you feel on your tires. I know I just replaced mine cause I didn't feel like I could push it at the tread level they were at.

^ If you can get new tires, get 'em. If not, just be careful out on the road.

are you showing any cord yet?

If you're front ones are better, you can always rotate. But mine were bad on the last cruise and they're still okay. Like scott said, as long as no cord is showing.

Creto, sorry but I just changed my oil four weeks ago...you didn't hear about the oil pan drama? Hmm...so I'd offer to wash your car anyway but I have guests this weekend so you'd have to bring it over. Sorry...but offer's open.

Riley, sorry to tell you that Creto is right, it HAS been beaten a while ago. But at least it was also covered, we used protection.

Was that too far?

Clean car is going to be kind of hard for me because I am going to be leaving from Wichita Falls. The car will probably look great except for the front end.

I'd be happier if the tread lasted longer on em. (But if it's any indication of my feeling towards them, I keep buying em)

I took off my rear tires today and realized that they have worn way faster than i had expected. I got them last June and they are at like maybe 5/32 in the center. Outside and insides look pretty good so maybe I'll just run a little less pressure.
On another note I busted out the claybar and superhard shell wax today to deal with that super dirt/rain storm on Tuesday night. I love the feel of a freshly clayed/waxed car
I just wish I had the ***** and experience to remove the orange peel. I notice it so much lately and it's making me a little angry.

Since it looks like we'll be having a nice big turnout, I'm gonna bring my 2way walkie talkies. If anyone else has any, might be a good idea to bring them also. I figured with 10+ cars, stop signs and lights might get a little complicated.

Good idea.. One for the lead car and 1 for the rear perhaps?

Dallas is about a two hour drive. I'd figure I'd just leave early and wash it while I'm up there so it would look respectable.
