Also, any chance you could post CoF numbers for the Tan Nitrile Roughtop and Wedgetop tread?
It would be non-trivial to get the width in there, but I'll inquire.

I don't have the exact numbers for those two treads (and they're in the discontinued category so proper testing isn't going to be a top priority as we rush for Kickoff...), but Ike's vintage post and past conventional wisdom say a number in the 1-1.3 range is probably close to reality.
