If you are on gravel much be sure to avoid the stone slinging ten groove Airstreaks, I had them and have the prop nicks to prove it. Running 4 groove Goodyears now. Same 8.50 X 6.00 much better. Slicks sling even less but the grooved might be better on wet pavement. Location, Location, Location.

Slicks don't throw rocks like the ones with lots of grooves.

Good day
