    This is a "Tacoma" tire-carrier. That's how this relates if you were wondering...

    Anyways, these are my take-offs that I am selling to another member tomorrow. We have to drive two hours to meet him in the middle, so my wife had the bright idea to take the Prius to conserve gas. This is the outcome, I was damn impressed they fit! They are 265-70-17's!

    You should be able to cut that time down. I saw in the new that a Prius will do 100 mph all on its own w/o even touching the accelerator[​IMG].

    Impressive little cars, for sure. I drove one from Birmingham to Orlando once w/ the youth group when we went to a conference at Disney. It was fun to drive.

    I wish they'd re-design the body somehow, though. I don't mind the hatchback look, but they're just so ugly.
