That would be awesome! Cory, would you be willing to do something like this over a weekend? I know your shop is only open during the week.
I'm sure we could work something out. When do you come back?
I'm willing to bet that he'll be home before his new wheels get shipped from TireRack.com. Man I miss getting Navy per diem...

Haha, no new wheels! Possibly new tires though.

And yeah, the per diem out here is great, but that'll probably be going towards house/baby stuff.

I get back the first weekend of Feb. Actually, probably just in time for C&C VB.

It was a highly likely guess!

Just FYI about C&C VB, from the event coordinator:

Well it looks like we've gotten so popular we're going to have to move the events up 30 minutes to 7AM - 9:30AM. The La Promenade property owner received a few complaints from tenants (store owners) who opened at 10:00 AM that there was nowhere for their early customers to park. This last event was so full that I'd have to agree and my fiance overheard some shoppers complaining about the lack of parking etc.

This isn't to say we've done anything wrong... quite the opposite. I have gotten a great deal of positive feedback from La Promenade tennants who have gotten extra business from the C&C crowd; especially Starbucks! However, the complaints make it to the top first. The owner of La Promenade as simply asked that we end the gathering at 9:30 sharp and people disperse accordingly.

Moving forward all events will be from 7AM to 9:30AM. You can come as early or as late as you want, but the crowd needs to disperse at 9:30 from now on. Thank you for your understanding!

As long as we still go to sushi buffet afterwards I don't care what time or where they move it. Hopefully I can make it to at least one of the Feb C&C events.

I'm hoping to make it to the Feb. C&C in VB. I'm supposed to fly back that Friday, but anything can happen with delays, so it's going to be cutting it really close. My in-laws will be in town, so I might bring my father-in-law out to see some cool cars. They're from Wisconsin, so they mostly see old beat up cars that are rusting apart.

Steve, what do you think about some 265 Star Specs out back? They sure would fit the 9.5 nicely, but I'm a little concerned about their height(looks). Especially if I'm running a 225 up front.

Nah. I think that would look funny. Plus you won't get any benefit out of them over a 255. I've seen the 265 in person and it is a little large. I'd maybe run them if I had 17x10s but with a 9.5 I'd stick to the 255.

I saw your post about different tires too and think you should try those RE760s. They look 99% as good as the RE11 and for your use will probably perform just as well. I know Will had them and really liked them.
