There is a guy selling a mess of tires and stated durometer hardness as a method of how fresh the tires were. or the degree of how gone they are. Might have to get me one of these just because I am a gadget nut when it comes to my race car. |

Joe,
The durometer readings are not going to give you an accurate absolute number. They're better for relative measurements. Like, charting how a given tire ages over x number of runs. Always measure in the same conditions, and the same manner to get the best results. -Josh2 |
