Tire changing service at Tour/Pro?

Post by Annie Bauer »

Since I expect to have a tire-eating autox car now that the SEB says I can't use my factory camber kit :unimpressed: , I need to make sure I have plans to swap out the front tires either just before or during the El Toro Pro.

Does any one yet know which, if any, manufacturers may have *on site* tire changing support? Or should I plan to find something offsite?

If no tire trucks are at the SD Tour you could give me your wheels/tires at the end of the tour and I'll swap them around and bring them to El Toro.

I'm shocked that she will be keeping the car long enough to have to replace tires!

Almost certainly this thread was created as a distraction because the car is already gone. :lol:

Ha ha - I may sell it if I can't manage to get a clean run in it. The dang car is huge - and I have lots of cone marks on the passenger side :lol:

Tom, to answer your question, with loosening everything up and getting the max, it's -0.75 degrees/side. Thankfully, there's adjustability in the rear to get it to rotate...

And I can't sell it now, it matches the Cayman :heyes:

You could trade the Hyundai in for Keisel's EM sprite.

See now *that's* a good idea! Somehow I don't think he'd take the trade, though... :)

Why, you don't think he can find a way to stuff a three rotor in it?
