Picked them up from Ben today.



I'll get them on tomorrow

 

Badass! I hope I can mount mine soon. I will probably have to do some trimming, and see how they fit with the stock wheels. The 17" Sport wheels have a 5.5" backspace, so it will be pretty damn close. I'm thinking with some adjustments on the LR UCAs I can get them
to fit.

 

Im excited to get them on to get the bald crap that I call tires off.

I did just notice though (and to Ben's credit he asked for C and payed for C range) that these tires are actually E range. I've ran a D range SSR before, but never an E range tire

I love that tread pattern.

 

you'll get a lot more miles out of the E rated tires.

 

Aren't E heavier though? Or stiffer? Might not deflate as well?

 

Slightly, from what I have read. I guess I wont be getting close to 20 mpg anymore

 

they are heavier and have stiffer sidewalls and made from a harder compound rubber.they are meant for 3/4 ton trucks

 

I would have liked the C range, but for the price Ill take them. If they are a little stiff I will drop a couple PSI

 

When I had a titan a lot of the guys were switching to the E rated tires because the Titan ate tires at the rate of about a set a year. When I get new tires I'm getting E rated as well.

 

That's the part I knew, I was just curious how much the rest made a difference. For instance, a stiffer tire might not do so good on the rocks if it can't bubble around for grip.

 

That part I'm not sure about, I've never wheeled on an E rated tire. My experience is limited to the street.

 

Got a little tour of the Nike hangar in Hillsboro today. Unbelieveably clean, crisp and my kind out outfit! Here's some pictures of Phil Knight's hangar and aircraft Only had my bat phone with me so the pics are lame but worth a peek!

Now here is some real horse power



His nice little G550



Imagine the luxury



All glass upfront like a BOSS



A bit of an older jet but equally as nice. Its paint job matches an older shoe design



Red carpet to wipe your feet on



Even says Nike on each step





And of course this is his ride home

 

WOW ^^^ That place is immaculate. Very impressive.

 

i think i just nutted my pants... yep i did.

 

How'd you get access to that?? Through your class?

 

Well on the plus side, they're a lot less likely to get the sidewall punctured...

 

Not bad. I should try and get a photo of my buddies hangers down in Auroa. His last name is Warn, as in Warn Winch. His dad sold the business in 2001, his hanger the last time I was there had 2 choppers, a Citiation XL, and a shit load of classic Porch's, VW Buses, and other exotics.

 

Good thought.

I guess we will see how they do on the 31st in the sand

 

I coulda used it

 

My neighbor in Longview is Warn's NW rep. I'll see if I can get a group buy going in april.
