thanks!
so far so good. They are rated to handle quite a good load.
The rears may need replacing first though

I had hoped that the wider Nostalgia being a full slick, softer compound and a taller tire that I could lauch with more boost, hook better and trap at higher speed with the taller tire but I went backwards with them.

I agree that the tire feel is pretty subjective but it was night and day between the two. I did call Tom and he is checking on a few things about when my Nostalgias were built as they have been making steady improvements. I may have an earlier design....

I will keep you posted.
Any word from Tom on what stage in development your Nostalgia's were made?
