I run K tires on my 2000 E-Mod Datsun Roadster. Bought
new unshaved but heat cycled and so far have 96 runs
on them and they still have the blocks on the inside
of the tread and are not down to the wear bars on the
outside. This car has no neg camber, solid rear axle
and can spin the rear tires on a whim. I love them for
durabilty but am going to slicks for better traction
(read faster times) next year.
