Didn't know about the 120 degree limit. I use flat stoppers, sometimes out in my pole barn. Don't think it ever got to 120, but easily over 100 here and there.

Even if tread looks identical, some of the higher perf tires use different material compounds through the tire tread. Especially outer edge that takes most of the load cornering. Possible this is trickling down to "non-performance" tires now. Heck, they could be going the opposite way, make the...

Same. Maybe if I had to work in a stone driveway, I might not be so quick to roll out floor jacks on top of ramps.

This is how Jersey is. Making it day specific is pretty stupid, plenty of car shows/cruises, M-F nights.

This. I only have 78K, but it's tuned on 93 since almost new, making 350-360 HP (gross, and probably 430+ torque) and I beat the living snot out of it every time I drive it. I've had it on a full day road course twice, when I was learning, figured it was the easiest thing to drive (auto/AWD)...

Because losers like our new NJ Govn, is STILL pushing to eliminate gas cars by 2035. Until that ends 100%, you're going to get pushback on EV's. And I'm happy to be one of those "pushers"...

Seems most Sunoco's near me now have 94, instead of 93.

Don't have it here, Or I'd have a bunch of E30 tunes

I was kind of thinking a real low pressure turbo kit. Something super small, like they use on the Ecoboosts. Maybe 100 HP increase tops. But I don't want another rig I have to use premium on......

Yeah. A mechanic friend worked township public works on the cop cars, for over 15 years. He told me the same thing. They will go forever that way. Just annoying with that low a mileage...

No doubt, even aggressive take off in the rain with open diff, just gets you tire spin. But I retire in 2 months. Wife has an AWD escape and I don't really need to go out in heavy snow right after a storm. I plow my driveway, neighbors driveway and even my own street. So once that is done GM...

I inherited an 09 GM with only 38k on it a bout a year and a half ago. Makes a great winter beater, keeping all my other "nice' stuff out of the brine. That stuff is way more corrosive that the old "salt" they used to put down. (just my casual observation). I've thought of "gears", but I...

The cheap one's flop over when fully inflated. So be careful with that. They are great at getting under really low suspension components.

I'd go further. Pull plugs, oil down cyl's for a day, then turn over by hand once or twice. (all that highly dependant on climate/storage location, etc...)...

Ever take a trap on land-based E-5 (chain gear)?? :) Serious question. Were first traps required on land, before carrier? (and did you use E-28, or just kind of "simulate" it).

You left out modifying cars for insane power, just because it is fun (and sometimes really challenging) Maybe never using it.

Going back to OP first post. It all started with one new wheel and 4 new tires. Maybe carwash damaged something else, but I'd still beg/borrow/possibly even buy, one more wheel and 4 new tires, before I did anything else.

Appreciate the discussions/info??:) Ironically, I measured runout on that wheel. Very little to even do a "RF' procedure. I Mic'd all 5 stock wheels, none had much over 20 thousands (this steel one was the worst, but still really good), especially radial runout (which was typically 10 thou or...

And hence why I will continue to to use "Road Force" numbers as one of my tools. I spent 3 months getting rid of (95% anyway) the massive vibration on my brand new F250. Ford would not fix it. These were General Grabber LT's........ I used seat of the pants and this Ap to measure vib's. This...
