    Maxtrax - Where's the best place to buy here in U.S.?

    That was my alignment, gone.... toasted both front tires going home, one didn't make it and the other had to be replaced ASAP. 8.5 hours holding my steering wheel 1/4 turn to the right just to go straight. But it was worth it!

    Re-tread tires

    I've had mine for almost a year and about 15,000 miles, wearing good and no separation, going to the SE Rally tomorrow and another trip in VA in two weeks. These will be the 4th and 5th trips on these tires off-road and so far no problems. Knock on wood!

    OK, don't laugh - Pinstriping protection?

    3M makes a clear protective film you can apply, not sure on cost but it's cheaper than a wrap, I also have heard of someo one planning on using plasti-dip as it will just peel off if it gets ugly.

    I need help - decision
