Last year near the end of the season, my slicks were shot, so I borrowed a set of really worn ETs. So worn I didn't even do a burn out, just a dry hop. I was surprized silly when the dam things hooked! My 60 didn't change at all from when I ran slicks. I was very impressed, it also taught me I really don't need to do big burnouts to make them work. I plan on using them for my 59 when its done, but only on cruise nights, to try to make them last.
