    Re: Random thoughts thread

    Aren`t all tires radials these days? The only tires I thought were bias-ply were the specialized ones on the market for vintage vehicles.

    On another note, I didn`t even know Mickey Thompson made performance street tires. I only knew them from their wheels and those giant mudders people run here on their trucks that howl like a WWII fighter plane on the interstate.

    You`re fortunate you can run performance tires year round. I love my summers, but they have to come off for the colder part of the year. It`s probably for the best in some ways because with a 200~300 wear rating they wouldn`t last very long if I did run them year-round.

    Interco is one company that still makes biased-ply offroad tires that can be run on the streets.

    Year 3 of my involvement in this backpack drive and I decided to stir the pot up. Hope it sells out soon.

    Well, I`m not gonna give away another two step and coating like I did the last two years. It`s $20 for a chance at a $300+ detail..keeping in mind my prices are still cheap.

    I`m gonna prolly do pa final finish polish and cosmic spritz or similar. It`s just time to me.

    Perhaps I missed something?

    Charity! It`s something from the heart, it`s not really about the paint polishing. I`m glad philanthropy isn`t dead, and for something other than animals. Not knocking animal charities, but too many kids going without.

    This is the third year I`ve supported this. As a club we have raised over 1000 backpacks each year.
    1200 last year and we`re going for 1400 this year.

    Purchasing power allows us to buy in bulk.
