Well, I haven't really done any of that with the tires I have now because they're junk
I don't drive as aggressive as I did with the Pirelli's because I would like these to last. You do the same schedule I do with tires. I've had these tires since September or so and I've yet to add any air.

I think it was something about pulling to one side. Something to look into I guess.

I did a quick look and didn't find anything. Maybe it was not even a tire I was thinking about!

You need to use the Escape clause.

I helped him sand it and prep it and he sprayed it Wimbledon White with orange Shelby stripes. He put a fiberglass hood and scoop on it. The engine was all different colors. The heads were different colors of blue, one valve cover was white and the other silver. he did not repaint anything, just left the pieces the color they were off the original engines. He did have a Liberty top loader 4 speed built for it. Had 5:65 gears. He would launch off the line at 7000 rpms and run an 11:00 flat. It was just awesome to see and hear that little 289 scream. He ran it 2 seasons and then sold it. It never came apart. The shifting in that video reminded me of him. He could shift that thing and make it sound like an automatic. Those were fun times. That is when I had my 54 truck running too.
I love reading your stories Jim

If anyone decides to order tires online I highly recommend staying away from disountwheelwarehouse.com.

I got an email saying the tires I ordered were discontinued and gave me the option of Hankook Dynapro's for $176 a piece. I complained a little about how the General Grabbers were on their site and they didn't even carry them and told them I'd take the Hankooks for the same price as the Generals ($162). He replied very quickly telling me how he couldn't match the price and how it wasn't his fault the tires were still listed on the site and he was just going to cancel my order.
I replied and asked if the shipping would be the same on the Hankooks as the General Grabbers and he replied quickly again "THAT IS CORRECT!"

I then emailed him telling to change my order to the Nitto Terra Grapplers and have yet to hear back a little over 30 mins later. Meanwhile all the emails before were 1-2 minute intervals. They're prices are good but customer service isn't very good from my expierence.
