Nothing major to report other than adding some new shoes to the 56 today. Bought some Nankang 165/80R/15's from Discount Tire Direct earlier in the week that arrived yesterday evening. I took the afternoon off and had them mounted on the 56. Sure is nice being able to drive around in the heat without worrying about tire separation/blowouts.

Boom: you can have your spare back if you want....thanks :thumbs: . Could be an excuse for you & Candy to come out to the country & visit.
