Sounds like Carl is in the race car class to me.

1998ta__1991rs 01-26-2011 07:14 PM

im pretty sure they do not have a DOT number, which is required for it to be a DOT tire

Carlrx7 01-26-2011 07:32 PM

lol, dont make me have to start knocking out some teeth in this bitch! hahaha, i will run these, if your scared then dont line up. i like racing by myself anyways. to put my car in the "race car" class is ridiculous. i put more miles on my car then all those race cars combined for the year, in a month!
