That's the dirtyest boot I have ever seen.
And the reason you need to drive around with 4 tires is???
That's also alot of dead weight to add on.

Exactly! I can't imagine anyone with "motorsports" in their signature would not know why anyone would put spares in tehir car.

Remind me not to wear a white shirt and put on the seatbelt in your back seat.
:smile:

Looks good - beats adding a hitch and dragging a trailer around!

P.S. Those are worn out?! Damn, I've put tires ON with less tread than that.

The ones in the car are the stock Good(bad)year RS-A all-season runflats on 17" S-lites (heavies). Those are still in good shape. I'll be rolling on those while my 16"s are getting mounted. I intentionally did not rotate the Badyears so that I'll have some reasonably fresh tires for the front of the car at wintertime.

Can one assume you'll be testing the new Falkens on Sunday in the lovely state of NJ?

I think I could fit an even 10 tires in my MINI if I tried. That would leave only two on the hubs so I'll pass.
