Smart dog Troy. Didn't know it was that hot up there yet. That'll be good for the tires.

Nice tires Teeroy, I have been thinking of getting those except in a 205-50-15". Currently run Hoosier slicks and on the street and the local police don't like that :o

Thankyou , the back two are 205 50 15's . I have to drive to and from the sites on my race tires (car is too low for my current trailer , not enough room in the car for four extra tires and a jack) . My Kuhmo's had more tread than the Hoosiers though , might have to figure something else out this season .

I've had this in my mind's eye for a while now.
Cooler, jack, & the Hoosiers, stacked 2x2. Shizzle.

I have a factory VW rack , I might have to see how many tires I can get on it . Would still need to buy a light jack , my 1 1/2 ton Snap On is heavy .

Yep. I'm looking at a "six pump, low profile, aluminum, super-wizzo" jack myself. And a cordless impact wrench. The tire catalog didn't say diddly about all the extra stuff.
