I just bought a new front tire for my stock 86, an Avon for a really good price ($96.00 shipped). And I get this email confirmation with a note that reads "**** Please note: It is possible that the item(s) on this notification will ship in multiple boxes. You may receive multiple shipment confirmations ****". OMFG, they might ship my tire pieces and I have to assemble it?  :ireful:

Just had to share.......
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

That's one of them 2 compound tires. I know, it's a bitch, but they do last longer once you get them assembled. Always a tradeoff.

Maybe with some duct tape, the fibers add some strength, I gotta have good tyres in them corners when leaned over.....
