Food for thought.
hmm....
This is by far the finest tire I have ever purchased. (Kuhmo MX non-runflat). I use this tire for highway/city use, as well as road course racing. Once these tires get hot they stick like glue to the road. I have taken them up to 135mph on the track in the rain and they did not hydroplane at all. I plan to buy these tires again and again!!!
that was from reviews at tirerack.com

$20 says he had less than 1500 miles on them when he did that. I've got first hand experience with MXs in the rain and they're downright scary once the tread wears in a bit. Almost as bad as bald A032Rs.

I'm figuring on less out of mine, but I'm running a shit ton of negative camber as well.

He has a set so I'm guessing he just doesn't want anyone else to have them locally.
