They make them for light trucks too. MT-762 is the actual model.

Hmm, it seems that the guy bought them from a small town 30mi away and they were cheaper compared to the local distributor. Waiting for the phone #, might just get my hands on tires sooner than I thought.

Watched "Unbreakable" last night. It's a good enough movie. Pretty original idea, it was a refreshing twist and look at that kind of movie (won't give it away). It was really slow though, and pretty quiet. Kind of a slow, dark, underscored movie.

My nephew has OI. He just broke his leg for the 3rd time in 8 months yesterday. I hate that fucking disease. All the boy wants to do is play baseball and he can barely even walk.

Man that would be awful. I feel bad for your nephew. I consider myself lucky as I've never broken a bone.

A co worker let me know about a fully loaded tahoe LT for 30k. Best trim with only 11k miles on it. Has the 5.3 and flex fuel I beleive.

hrmmmm

Buddy of mine just bought an Escalade for that. Makes me gag though.

tahoe > escalade IMO.

That is one heavy duty rack case, it is all steel, has a power rail, 2 120v fans (noisy as all getout) and rails for a secondary set of rack mounts for slides in it. The damn case has to weigh over 100lbs. I even have an extra one too.

called merchant tire to see if they could mount/balance my tires. I have no real experience in this area as all my old tires didn't really matter and wal-mart worked just fine. Merchant claims they can do it but the guy on the phone did not sound happy to hear the sizes. Any advice from people who have had larger low profile tires mounted?

Most of the national chains should have the proper equipment to do it and do it right. Whatever you do, check them before they put them back on the vehicle. They have a bad of habit of just throwing the tire on there and then weighting it where needed instead of trying to remount the tire in a better position. Ideally, you want the least amount of weights needed and spaced out instead of in one area. Large wheels and tires are usually not an issue, diameter-wise; it's usually the extreme widths that cause them fits.

My old man's '90 GT has 10.5" tires on the rear and I went to 3 different places and broke 3 machines until I gave in and had to take it to Tire Rack.

The local Discount Tire's usually have at least one tech who is worth a shit. I'd call them and ask when their top wide tire guy is in and go then and specifically schedule with him. They have always treated me well and also always beat TR's prices.

Doc says I may have early stages of migraines :( hope not

There are meds that work, let me know if it goes further and I will ask my friend some more details. He suffers from them and his dad's company makes many different forms of treatment. Coincidence?

If they are only 4oz and 3.2 it isn't that hard.

I will if it does, but it seems like it is going away. Yesterday I didn't really even have a headache all day and I was out on the boat fishing in the sun till noon. Coincidence? :P

For what it's worth I will also recomentd discount tire. I have been to them 3 times now, and unless an emergency probably wouldn't use anyone else.
