Anouther tire question.

Just to stir the pot a little, You are judging a car with four brand new tires, the spair matches but is worn,would you take a point??? It is serviceable,but say half worn out. Is it a fair deduction or are we being picky?? BTW Mine is new.

Re: Anouther tire question.

I guess I should have asked,was it worn when it left the factory.

Re: Anouther tire question.

G/Morning Susan, just trying to rejuvinate a little life in the judging discussion. This was covered maby 3 years ago. You and I both know the worn tire would warrant a one point deduction. Its ONLY one point, but little things can hurt.
Was nice to meet you and Bill at Hershey, I hope to make the GN at New Bern,maby we could get togather for coffee.

Hello wj.

You are correct, that one little point can put someone just outside that award level. And what a shame that would be when it is something that could have been fixed.

It was sure nice to meet you also. And thanks again for the Mercedes center cap for a hubcap.

We plan on going to the GN in New Bern. They always put on a GREAT show. And coffee or a meal sounds great.
