studd-u talkin to a guy who's drove around with a spool, wheelie bars etc and THAT gets old too. 
It's also not the tires that's the most concern, it's the shark finning of the axle's from street driving on a spool. The type of **** that when it breaks it leaves your "street" car stuck at some bbq with your girl
If I had 2 3rd members would I change them out ALL the time-of course not. If it was gonna be 2 weeks till my next race and I wanted to take my wife away for the weekend in the vette-yes I would change it out.
BUT I'm not doing ****
until I break a 35 spline posi set up-which still no one has chimed in that they broke it yet.

Ok I didnt dyno with and without the tru trac but I did weigh it after the swap. The new strange light weight spool was 15lb shipped and the tru trac with ring gear still on it was 58lbs. Thats gotta be worth something.
Also the spool is not nearly as bad on the street as one would think. You actually cant even tell unless its a super tight turn.
