actually, i beg to differ. My BFG's were bald as crap when i ran them. NO tread whatsoever. just drop em to 12 psi and do a good burnout, and you'll be alright. Mine lasted me a season of racing....oh yea, i was cutting 1.6-1.7 on them...

I agree 100% with Nitin. The balder the better. Mine have only a slight bit of tread on the sidewall. Otherwise, they look like a slick - no tread at all on the contact patch. Weekend before last at Bradenton, I pulled two 1.63 60 ft times (best ever on 275/50/15 DR's). Point? They work best when bald.

As for how much life they have left, that's the bad part. There is no way or really telling. Unlike a slick, they do not have wear indicators. I am inspecting mine after every run now, looking for cords. As soon as cords start to show, into the trash they go (no pun intended).

Mine are about worn out cords are soon...see sig...

i think that BFG's literature states:
"Bald is beautiful!"
