What about the 1st set of tires listed on the R Kraus site? The tread pattern looks similiar to the billbords. Are they any good ?

I love mine!
The do not hunt or track unless you are on crappy roads. Maybe if you track on good roads it is suspension related?
Compared to BFG's
Posit ives:
Grip is 9 on dry roads
Grip is 6-7 on wet. (I drive slow in weather)
Looks
Once warmed up they ride smooth
Negatives:
Flat spot (works out in a few minutes)
Throws rocks all day long
Love them................................. |

Rather than repeat the info, please read my post above wherein I identified what the "A" and "B" list tires were. Note that part of my post was just repeated in MadMiles post... merely one post above yours.
Oh what the he!!...the "A" list are the Bluestreaks and the "B" list are the Billboards. Several of us have now described the differences.

I've had the billboards on my car for over 8k miles.
Only "bad" points I've experianced... They flat spot when they've sat. That goes away in a few miles. They leak air through the porous sidewalls. That can be fixed by using tubes. They bite very well, so if you hit a batch of "uneven" road (where the grind it down to lay fresh stuff and it's all lines) or going over a grated bridge, they will grab the ruts and pattern in the road and you will fight to keep the car straight.
Other than that, I love them. I will be putting another set on when these are done (they have tons of life left at 8k BTW).

Can anybody enlighten me as to what is going on at CC right now? Most of the threads get a "Not Found" message and I can't post a new thread to any forum.
Maintenance? Would be nice to let us know. Or, then again, maybe it's just my ISP?
