[QUOTE="Redfish Hunter, post: 1329240, member: 28773"] No, that can't be right either. I have eaten scallops several times, that is Seafood. I know Seafood, in fact I know Seafood very well. I have only had seafood influence my tire performance twice. Once I drove through a mass migration of crawfish crossing the road and that caused a slip/slide moment. Another time while driving on Fourchon Beach a catfish fin went through the side of a brand new Goodyear Wrangler HT. It went flat pretty fast. Since that was actually a Hardhead Catfish and they are not good to eat, that may not have technically been seafood. So, if we INSIST on using the exact word or term for this phenomenon but we cannot seem to agree what exactly that word or term is, how do we handle it? I say that: 1. Feathering is something that a man did to his hair in the '70s and '80s. 2. Cupping is when you use your hands to drink water from the faucet OR is what happens when a breast is lifted by hand. 3. Scallop is a shellfish pictured on the Shell Gas Station sign. Can we just call it a funny wear pattern? Is it really that important? [/QUOTE]
