Mike,

if you would quit locking your front brakes up at the finish line, the DS2's last a long time!

jeff g, you need to listen to Myron; getting the right rollout based on your spot on the tree is the main criteria and I've done good with Hoosier as well. Ideally, you need a "short" and "taller" set for varying tracks...plus if you REALLY need that extra ET a short tire is working against you (remember rollout). It all has very little to do with "the right look". Just my 2C

air pressure plays a role at the line also.
