    You don't have to be a tire spinning expert to spot ways illustrations can be falsified to make a fraudulent point.

    Nice try, though.

    Why so defensive? Did you personally make the video? If so, all you had to do was stay zoomed out and not pretend to be some Hollywood director.

    If you didn't, calm down & try being objective.

    The specific skepticism is and was about durability.Dice has been kind enough to keep a thread going on this for some time now.The question was quite specific and relating to the effectiveness after extended use.
    Even PTFE additive treatments show short term gains due to lower friction.They however have side effects and the positive effects don't last.

    Just a little warm, more concerned with maximizing my MPG!
    Started running a 2013 Cascadia/DD15 in Nov., Nov. Dec. IFTA reported 6.57. Winter fuel a lot of idling. In Feb. Installed FASS, March MB, April Flow Below. In may I was at about 8.6 30 day, then with the heat started idling a lot. Down to about 7.9 or so now.

    Dang! I decided to go with the Davco instead of FASS. Flow Below is just too overpriced IMO. I've got one Air Tab kit on with gains.

    But a month ago I need to replace drives. Got a great deal on good retreads. But they're not SmartWay. Plus, the HVAC on my APU needs warrantied. So I've been idling. I'm down to 5.9 so far.

    IMHO those recaps could be costing you big! Have you done an overhead, changed the air cleaner? Run synthetic?

    They are costing me big. I was up to 6.6 before them. But I don't wanna buy new Michelins until I get super single rims.
    I'm sure they had to do the overhead when they resealed my cam frame, two weeks b4 I got the drives. I'm bout due to change the air filter though. Only done it once so far. Got shell T5 in it now.

    I am being objective to your unqualified opinion. I have a lot of experience using both. I will wait on your video to qualify your opinion?

    Your experience using some commercial product on your truck does not qualify your opinion on a video where three bicycle tires are being spun.

    So climb down off that high horse of yours, because you're too blind or stubborn to admit that the video is unreliable and didn't have to be that way.
