yeah, if we're hydroplaning down the Dragon, I suspect we have other problems

Just my first time on the Dragon, so I want to ask all the stupid questions

There is no such thing as a stupid question...only stupid answers.

If you plan on running the Dragon very hard all weekend you will use up 3 or 4/32nds of tread in the Smokies.

Last April Kim and I started with 5/32nds on SO2's and we had Bald Rear tires when we returned home.

IMHO the best way to go is with New Tires so you won't have any worries.
