Don't you find it weird calling someone "Fat Boy"?

The only thing missing from FB's blip though, is the velocity one would have to be traveling at for the little grooves to make a difference.

For what its worth, I have never used a tire without any tread. Very little tread, yes. They are just too difficult to find and purchase.
