dave,

i cant bite my lip any longer.

this judging deal is beyond description.

not that your tires are available in reproduction, but i would like to know if all of the other OE cars had original tires?

i know the few cars ive looked at in the past didnt.

so how do the cars with reproduction tires get judged?
do the dates matter on those tires?

of course the condition will be like new because they are new.

how can the guy like yourself who went thru the time and effort to locate nos correct tires even be in the same judging catergory of the guy that picked up the phone and ordered a new set, boy , that took alot of effort NOT!

what is the total points alloted for tires?
and what is the point breakdown for correct original?
repo?
date codes?
+ condition?

i wouldnt even think repo tires (or any other PART, not items like paint or fluids) shouldnt even get 1/3 of the allowable points, why should the effort, or lack of effort, be awarded at all for reproduction items. id rather have a set of not so perfect originals, then perfect new repos.

like you said before, YOU know what you brought there

btw, dave i did call you on sat, but didnt get an answer.
talk to you soon, tony
