however, i did forget to mention that i do have a 1990 chevy caprice, police cruiser, that will put ruts in pavement, i've been itchin to get it out of storage, when i do i'll get some video of that, i smoked the hell out of it one day after work up in columbus, ohio, the car itself including the inside, (roll up the windows is usually the first response, but that is not going to help as it has holes in it from the rust) the smoke turned yellow which is what i thought was hiliarious but i was thinking that i was on the verge of the tires catching on fire, so i let off the brake and rolled out i really wish i had a video of that but i don't.

when i get the destination M/T's in ill put up some pics, i bought american racing outlaw II's to go with them (craigslist $200) and ill review them after i get some miles off them, there are hundreds of posts on tirerack.com and everyone that buys them loves them and says theyd get them again, i saw people with 70k, 72k, 78k, and 80k on them with tread to go, so that made me kind of happy. right now they are on national shortage, theyre going to start producing them again in 3 weeks and then fill the backorders (which i got in line for) so i should have them the end of april to middle may. and i will have new off the line tires not ones that sat on a shelf for a year or so like that post that was up previously

I only have 245/75/16's but I can spin my tires whenever I want going around a turn, or from less than 20, they smoke going around turns even when Im not trying to
