    Apparently we can only sell what other people tell us to.

    Thanks. Until a metal one is created, this will do.

    Old tires are dangerous and get people killed.

    Don't you have access to a welder, metal benders and have some minions that need a project?

    Liking them so far. Wish we actually got some good snow to give em a test.

    Was rotating tires on Thursday and doing an oil change and got pretty lucky:

    Lucky for sure! That looks like the 9/16" wafer head screws we use for steel studs and other thin sheet metal. Your tread is probably deeper than the screw could penetrate.

    One of my old neighbors had those on a Wrangler and said they were nice. He said they were quiet, but I figured he probably just couldn't hear them over the wind noise. :D

    He probably couldn't hear them over the death wobble or the thing rattling apart..

    I drove one last week, to settle my curiosity. The wind noise at 60 was significant. I really want a 2-door as a toy, eventually. But, it certainly wouldn't be as nice to drive to the trails and back.

    That's actually nicer than the reaction most people had. :rofl:

    Probably not happening, anyway. But, only as a second or 3rd vehicle if it does.
