you have to cram your new tires into your car somehow!

i fit two 275/30/19 and two 235/40/18 tires in my car today, lol.......one in the trunk, two in the front seat, and one behind the seats........it was really tight, but managed to get them in after playing around for awhile.

luckily i only had to go about 10 miles.

I had four unmounted tires and four wheels in my little 67 datsun roadster yesterday.

Good times indeed.

DONT FEEL BAD. my car is my only car. Even with the power i have in the motor. but after 4 years the motor only blew once! just make sure you take care of it 10x more than a normal person would as stuff will break more frequently unless its been restored!
