Those tires were probably SCREAMIN!!!!! I did 160 for a bit on a long downgrade on my way to work. When I came to a stop my tires looked like the armor of a F(#*%@N ARMADILLO! Frilled, peelin and all kinds of stuff!!! I was scared to make the 35 mile commute back home on em! Cant imagine what those looked like I dont care how expensive they are!!!!! LOL CHRGDHD
