I consider tires to be the least expensive circuit breaker in the drivetrain.

Coincidentally, I took my just completed Cheetah out for a limited, low speed test ride yesterday. I thought my clutch might be slipping but after further evaluation I determined the tires were breaking loose under spirited but partial throttle acceleration. As we all know, big engines in light cars require careful application of power.
