I agree the treads should be replaced. But if I needed a 55 gallon drum

I've challenged you to prove that, not speculate.

I'm not interested in proving it to you. And, I'm not speculating.
Here's a little story for your amusement, while you gum your soggy toast:

A multi-national corporation decides to build a large new manufacturing
plant. They want to generate their own power onsite, and they want to do
it using generators that burn used tires. A half dozen or so of their
top lackeys spend three months searching the internet, calling and
emailing everyone they can find, and turn up empty handed.

Finally they call a guy who says he can find things. A professional
researcher, who has spent his entire life in the field. Sure, the guy
says, I can find that. It'll cost you $3500. Agreed. The guy spends 1.5
hrs. on the project, and returns the names of 3 companies, along with
the phone numbers and email addresses of the president of each company,
who manufacture generators designed to burn used tires.

The guy, by the way, works at home, in his underwear. And that story
isn't unique, it's just representative. So, if I needed a 55 gallon drum
of regrip, which I don't, I'd just call him, since he's one of my
closest friends. The info would probably cost me lunch.

So, now you are speculating that for $3500, someone will tell you
where to find a 55 gallon drum of Re-Grip that you will still have to
pay for.

Game, set ,match. Don't bother with any more lame responses that don't
actually prove anything. I think I now know where to look if I need an
endless supply of hot air.

Do you work at being a knothead, salty, or does it come naturally? What
part of "the info would probably cost me lunch" didn't you get? I didn't
say YOU could find a reasonably priced drum of regrip, I said I could
find one. I could, you couldn't. See? Game, set, match my ass.

And while we're on the subject of hot air, please link me to your
thesaurus that lists "sticky" as a synonym for "slippery," as you've
repeatedly claimed.
