At that scale it looks like a spare tire embedded in the roof. I guess it's a sun roof. __________________ . .Without freedom of speech we wouldn't know who all the idiots are. -- anonymous poster ____________________ . .Three conspiracy theorists walk into a bar --You can't say that is a coincidence.

Thread: Lower rolling resistance: space saver spare tire donuts @70 psi, or RE92's @ 51 psi

All depends on the tire, of course. These were awful.

Ingress/egress, but I still like the paint color better. __________________ . .Without freedom of speech we wouldn't know who all the idiots are. -- anonymous poster ____________________ . .Three conspiracy theorists walk into a bar --You can't say that is a coincidence.
