When you drag a tire on one spot it will no longer be round on that spot. It will have a "flat spot" where it dragged across the ground.

sorry for the hijack, but the correlation is that most 6speed fbodys are street driven (extensively). a 9 second one makes lots of power and goes drag racing with skinnys. the skinnys on street driven 6 speed drag racing cars are not meant for the weight of those cars.

skinnys are not meant for heavy street driven cars.,
