Its tricky if you aren't putting miles on the car because that extra set of rears might age out. I am reasonably confident that after two years I'll need another set of rears, and I'll only use them for another two years. So, at that rate, it makes sense to buy six on sale right off the bat. But, keep this in mind:

"Per BRMA, unused tires over six years old should never be put in service, and all tires should be replaced after 10 years from their date of manufacture. JATMA recommends inspection after five years and replacement after 10, regardless of treadwear and overall condition.Jul 7, 2016"

So, for example, I am 99% certain I will need a new set of fronts and rears next season. I am starting to look for tires/sales now. If a good deal turns up, I'll probably buy 6 now.

I have some straps from Modifry that I bought, but ended up going with a new top and never installed them. I can send pics if you are interested.

That would be great if you can do that. That is the only maintenance project I haven't purchased anything for yet.

The Modifry straps are very easy to install and work great. Highly recommended.

Venmo is fine. I can mail them Monday. I don't think you have PM rights yet, so you can email me misterkey@comcast.net.

Dang, that looks minty! Congratulations.

Even the driver bolster looks clean. Just put your ass in the seat first then swing your legs in.
Don't know why so many people sit on the bolster and mash it down...
