These are my Billboards with around 200 miles on them but sitting for quite some time. All 4 look like this now. They are cool looking, but don't have the preservatives in the compound to make them last. As Goodyear told me, they are made to buy on Friday and race all weekend, then toss them. I am also going with Avons. Roger Krause says they just got a fresh shipment about a month ago.
