I was gonna guess drywall screws?
"When it came back, they found that the Pirellis had rotated 360 degrees or more." Well, if it rotated 360*......how would you know?  |

Well think about it from a purely mathematical standpoint. If 360* is a perfect circle.... then how would you know based on a simple tire marking? It would return to the same point it started at.....but yes I was joking. |

I am with Matt on this. If the tire rotates 360 degrees it is right back where it started. How can you tell ? If it rotates 365 degrees it looks the same as it would if it moved 5 degrees. Now if it were to rotate say 350 degrees, now there is something to look at. |

They said 360 cause this is just a marketing blurb, hoping that some of the viewers would recognize the term 360 say "Holly Crap, dat thing's got some power" and that those viewers would just scratch their heads if they heard 350 degrees (which is close to what the vid shows anyway).
 Still just a marketing thing for something that's been happening on race tracks and dirt tracks foreva. Now, how long is foreva?  |

I would guess foreva is 360 years. But then it might be zero years. But 350 years, that's a long time.
