Re: Rough top treads delamination
Yes, we had some rough top treads delaminate in 2013.
After that we switched to blue nitrile and never had that problem again.
All belting we've used for wheel treads eventually wears down. Aggressive driving wears them down faster. Be prepared to change treads at least once at every event; more if you know you'll be driving hard.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
