Tire Tech - Air Pressure vs. Wet Performance
An underinflated tire will tend to wear the shoulder areas of the tread faster than the center. This is because there is insufficient air pressure to allow the center of the tread to carry its fair share of the weight. A correctly inflated tire receives appropriate support from the contained air pressure to provide an even distribution of load across the footprint. And while most drivers recognize that this has a significant impact on tire wear, rolling resistance and durability, only a few realize it also has a noticeable influence on how effectively the tires can resist hydroplaning to maintain wet traction.

When does the movie really start?
a Connecticut State Representative has said “enough’s enough,” and is proposing legislation that would require movie theatres in the state to post the actual starting time of a movie.Awesome! It’s a step in the right direction. Now if they’d just put spikes on the back of my seat, cell phone jammers, and a group-vote ejection system, I might actually go to the movies again!

Two major announcements have come out of Ducati this New Year. The first regards the newly introduced sport classic line and should warm the hearts of 2006 Paul Smart 1000LE (PS1000LE) owners. The other will tend the garden of avarice that is the heart of the aspiring Hypermotard owner.Cut to me selling blood for the down payment on that supermotard.
