Nytrozilla Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Among all of the incredible details in this update, what strikes me most are the front tires. I know tires after 30 years in the business.THAT is what normal tire wear looks like. Not simply sanding down the tread. Wear that thing out to give it age.
