I hope to make it coming from houston, having never driven more than 5hrs.
looking forward to meeting all you autox addicts!
I assume you'll be running several cable locks through the wheels as well...? That's a prime target if they're just chillin under the straps.

I guess its not bad for a driveway queen . After this trip i'm going to have to figure out if its time for aero but definitely >295 tires and fenders first

Does anyone have link to how to fit >295 tires? I'm already hitting the engine bay wall with ET10

Been thinking about that for months but each time I go to harborfreight I become unconvinced I can stay away from bolt/cable cutters and trailer thieves. I did use water pipes in my first tire trailer years ago. I think the bike will buy me some time in case someone tries to go after the wheels I plan to sleep in the car somewhere but if absolutely needed I think I can put all the wheels inside the car for overnight storage

Im running 295s now on 10.5" wheels and can say Im going back to 285s. The 285s seem much happier on 10.5" wheels and the height difference helps a ton with clearance. Width difference is basically offset with 1/2 lower CG.

Good luck out there, Edward! Maybe next year I'll actually have my car off of jackstands.

I certainly wont be joining you guys in 315 land. The annoyances of the tall tire would just be that much worse I would think. Untill they make us a short 315, itll be 285s for me.

Rental Evo? Are you talking about Brausen? If so, that's what I'm driving.

Brousen has the FP Evo. I think they've got like 4 or 6 people driving it now. I predict cataclysmic results
