Default New 'R' compound shoes

Well, the multi-year long search will be over soon. I finally have located and will soon be the receipient of some new shoes. 325/30/19 in an "R" compound with a DOT rating. And no, they aren't Hoosiers !

We'll see just how good they are hopefully in 2 weeks but I have confidence as this model has been out for some time...just not in this size. Time to do some drifting with my old treads if there's anything left.

The waiting begins
