Reply to "Traction Tires and Clean Track"

I can’t see dirty track making a tire fail prematurely. However, dirty track at some point will catch up to you........and those tires have been riding around picking up all that muck, so when you do finally clean your track, they’ll happily re-deposit crud on your rails for you.....free of charge....I could see if track was coated in an oily residue, making tires get all soft and pop off a wheel prematurely, but I’d tend to think there would be more problems than just that.........Pat
