I was not aware when I got them that colored rubber does not have the same UV properties as the black rubber. So with in a few months the rubber started cracking and now I am slowly loosing tire pressure. My front tire is the worst. Its cupping real bad and loosing a lot of tread. The back is ok. Also the tires come with a coating on them that discolors the side wall and the chicken strip and looks like crap. They do stick fairly well. I have never has a problem with them losing traction. Definitely better than stock.

I think I'd be changing those tires real quick just for safety reasons alone.[]

I was planning on doing that.
I was holding off for a little while because I am thinking of power coating the center of my wheels while I had them off. I don’t have a front stand though. I was told to take my soft strap and hang the front end from the rafters in my garage. Will this work or am I asking for trouble.

yes, rafters work good with the soft strap wrapped around the neck of the frame. It will sway some but works good.
edit: If you have a cherry picker, they work good as well.
