Ok, doesn't sound like a major disaster then.  I'm just going to be  
using them for the winter snows anyway.  I bought them with my  
fingers crossed, but the price was right -- $100 for a set of 4  
Borbet CFs with very minor curb rash.  The tires that came with them  
are really shot (belts showing in the shoulders), but I bet I'd be ok  
going 10 MPH through some tight turns to double check for rubbage  
before dropping $$ on mount&balance for my snows.  I do like the new  
word, Dave.  :-)
