^ So who are you?

I've even hit some small pot holes and crap with mine... no damage like pictured. I'm running M&H racemasters... and to boot I'm even running a smaller profile tire cause of the 17" skinnies

edit:
oops, sorry I guess they don't make these in the size you would need. I suppose for future reference for anyone else though.

How many miles have you put on those?

I don't really know scott, I've probably only put 500 miles on the car in the last couple years

Those Racemasters look like really nice front runners for anybody running 17". Like you said unfortunately it doesnt look like they are an option for us 15" guys.

Wow! I had the same Kuhmo front runner tires on my Cobra for many years. They held up great. I'm shaking my head right now looking at those pics. I recently sold my bigs and littles so I wont have to worry about this happening. pretty scary thanks for sharing.
