I don't know personally, but I wouldn't leave home without them.
Even back in the 80's ,a friend had an old tire truing machine.I used to borrow it and take regular radials and cut away most of the tread, except for a few in the middle. Of course 50 psi too .
You have to use a whole different stream of thought to build a fast FWD car. Even the alignment is opposite of what you might think. It all adds up .Don't leave anything on the table.
