    That and the age too. Once a tire gets to that mark even with decent tread, traction suffers greatly!

    The way I drive on the mountain definitely hasn't helped my tread wear either... :spy: :laugh:

    Gotta agree if you need to carry Condition 1 .

    Otherwise may as well leave it home in the safe

    I wonder did the accidental discharge take place in the Men`s Room Good Holster I can see no other place it might happen.

    Then no yelling with the clueless.

    These are the ones from the factory, they have a lot of tread left and just turned 29,000 miles :D

    You could shoot yourself and save him the trouble I suppose. With proper training and practice, which you should have before carrying concealed, racking one in should take less time than pulling the weapon from your pocket/ holster

    I guess it all comes down to what works for you!!

    How often have you gone head to head Condition 3 compared to condition 1

    From various real world positions ?

    With both the strong and weak hand with the strong hand disabled ?

    Little bit of this and that
    Not bad at all! Simpletire did have the option of having the tires shipped to a local installer for free with a discount on install. IIRC my local Firestone charged me ~$65 OTD to mount and balance the Yokohamas on the Taco in 2020.

    Maybe the fact I’ve done none of that explains my opinion. I’m not trying to hate on someone’s personal decision, but when it puts the general public in danger I get a little on edge.

    I love my Yoks, I get quite a few compliments on them. I shop around for best prices but I don't mind paying up for a good tire. I'll sacrifice elsewhere for the peace of mind of quality rubber.

    I got done building this April 1st last year, it went to powder coat for about a month. Customer eventually came and paid for it, over $3k and it’s still here.

    I told the boss a while back to send them a $100 a month storage fee and they'll fetch it.

    Was it for a nuclear power plant? We seem to spend money like that. That thing even looks it could be used to hang lead shielding on.

    I think it was to go to an airport to hang keys on. It gets some peg board or something mounted inside with lexan on the doors. Guy was in a rush for it too, go figure.

    Boss got this drawn, he has to get a price on getting it water jet. Plasma guy can’t cut 1 1/2” thick. I bet two of them will be $500 minimum.

    How much time CNC mill it. Cut most of it out with band saw, drill hole for radius?

    It would take me a while, it's 29" tall. Our band saw won't cut that far even with doing half. Not to mention the cost of material times 2.
