Drive wheels turning to a "sticky mess" could be from using some improper cleaning or lubrication solvent on or near the wheels.But I agree with Brad that if the drive wheel is not properly tensioned against the platter, or if the platter does not turn freely, slippage could occur, generating frictional wear/heating of the wheel surface. Is the "sticky mess" on the driving surface, or is the entire wheel getting soft? ------------------ John P.

When you say that they are "white" are they really white? I've got some that are cream-colored or tan. They're not soft at all. In fact, when I saw them I wondered if they were the right part. (There was also a bad batch about 2 or 3 years ago that were recalled.) What's the earliest possible date code on these white tires? I've got a batch of spares from 01/01. ~Manny.
