Holy cow! Dismounting 285/30s on a manual changer is a chore.

I’m sure most of you have better things to do with your time, but since I share a house with four women, I will use just about any excuse to work in the garage. :D

we have one on our car trailer. doing fifty series tires like on my wrx, are alot of work. We let Jeb brookshire do it on his stuff. anything below a 50 series is alot of work for us. Good luck with your 30 series rubber bands. We got ours from harbor freight.

Got the new track tires mounted. I hate giving up so much contact patch dropping from 285/30 to 245/35 :x But these were affordable and have a wear rating of 140 which should provide better grip than the street tires I ran last year at VIR. :roll:
