I've found very little wear on mine so far 100 passes. It picked my car up .10 @ 1.5 mph in the 1/8. No 1/4 mile mph improvement but it carried .13-.14 through to the end. I should mention that I had many passes with the A&A steel drum and the A&A aluminum drum. These results were averages of well over 100 passes. Doug Last edited by dvw; 01/08/15 12:32 AM.
