I take offense to that Brian...I quite enjoyed crashing into people that spun in front of me last year, thats why I kept doing it over and over...
Its going to snow this weekend...ol' Mother Nature isn't going to help us out. You going to Iowa at all before we start up here?
Trial and error will be some of the fun of learning the new tire and how the car can perform with it.
If we don't get any practice time in, the opener could be interesting!
I think the biggest concern of the new tire is going to be cutting them down. I have 4 like new BFG's that got snagged on people's running boards and ripped chunks out of the sidewall, If that happens with the AR's, they'll be junk due to the much thinner sidewall, where the BFG's are still useable as left side spares.
We should all police ourselves on making sure the running boards are even with the fenders and taped. I still remember in '08 when Jimbo took a hammer and duct tape over to Robert Lever's pit and "fixed" his running boards for him
