thank you sir! i have a set of mickey thompson 29.5x 10.5 slicks in my garage. how can i tell if theyre any good?
Look at the wear holes in the part that touches the pavement. They get shallower as the tire wears out. Also, the tires should not be hard, but have some softness to them when you depress the surface with your thumb. Finally, look for dry rotting and cracking in the sidewalls. The rubber should look somewhat alive, not dead in appearance. Run tubes also.
Tech should have more info on this, as he has probably checked more slicks than any of us.

While DR hook good slicks hook better."The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. "
