luckily the vibration got so bad it drove me to the point of stopping and taking a look, the drivers side skinny has some sort of strang tumor the size of a lime coming outta it. looks like the tread layer was starting to separate from the inner part on the contact patch and the side. ill take pics later

i felt really bad getting a tow truck driver to drive me from fort pierce to miami at 11 on sunday night

adrian dont worry about it, shiat happens

im gonna call m.t. and ask if that is normal (are those tires street legal???)

DOT street legal yes.

from M/T's site:
CAUTION: It is not recommended that radial and non-radial tires be mixed on the same vehicle.

Dont see what this does :shrug:

the mixing of radial and non-radial, just makes the car a little funny to drive. The tires ride differently. Its usally one of the reasons, people sway the first few times down a track. Till they get use to it (that and the slicks have soft sidewalls).
