Captain Stupid Posted October 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 damn that sucks man, I have seen people in jeeps use these http://a.cdnbrm.com/images/products/med/roof_racks_bags/surco_safari_roof_rack.jpg for they're tires. not sure how it would look on a escalade Havin a spare ride along on the roof SOUNDS good, but that requires one good EXTRA wheel and tire. I don't really wanna spend $1000 on a spare. Know what I mean? I just need to get AAA so I can get towed home the next time this happens. 2006 Cadillac Escalade 2/3 drop on 28" wheels Two RE SX 18" subs RF T2500-1bdCP amp, 3531watts on birthsheet Custom carbon fiber sub box EVERYTHING else is stock, for now 149.4 @ 37hz, Termlab, dash, open window on two AQ3 18s all stock electrical, wired to .25 ohm on a RF T2500 148.8 @ 36hz, Termlab, dash, open window on one AQ3 18 all stock electrical, wired to .5 ohm on a RF T2500 147.8 @ 38hz, Termlab, legal, sealed on two RE SX 18s 146.4 @ 36hz, Termlab, legal, sealed on one RE SX 18 Link to my hack-built, stupid, carbon fiber wasting project.... http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/149946-carbon-fiber-box-update-1494db-37hz-on-tl/ http://gifsoup.com/NDM3MTc1MQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeatBox Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Oh man that sux, but with all that weight, that might be expected. Skinny's look good but I coupldnt do it. i bet that tire's load range isnt meant to be ran on a vehicle that big, looks sick tho you should get tires from discount tire and buy the certificate with it, you'd get a free tire if it ever blows out like that damn that lip got fcked hopefully you get it taken care of for cheaper than you expect tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Where am I gonna put a spare that is 3-1/2 taller than stock with a speaker box in the back? Won't fit under the truck in the normal spot. Back seat would be the only option.

You still have to pay for the tire shipping and the warranty. But its alot cheaper than to pay full price for the tire.

Skinny's look good but I coupldnt do it. i bet that tire's load range isnt meant to be ran on a vehicle that big, looks sick tho Tires are rated at 2500 lbs each sidewall designation. A stock Escalade is around 6500 pounds plus another 250 for me, 300-ish for sub box, and I had another 200 in tools and stuff. Should be fine with that weight. .......and I tow my race car with it, which is another 500-600 pounds on the tongue. With the trailer and the stereo, it's about at the limit and getting close to rated load. 2006 Cadillac Escalade 2/3 drop on 28" wheels Two RE SX 18" subs RF T2500-1bdCP amp, 3531watts on birthsheet Custom carbon fiber sub box EVERYTHING else is stock, for now 149.4 @ 37hz, Termlab, dash, open window on two AQ3 18s all stock electrical, wired to .25 ohm on a RF T2500 148.8 @ 36hz, Termlab, dash, open window on one AQ3 18 all stock electrical, wired to .5 ohm on a RF T2500 147.8 @ 38hz, Termlab, legal, sealed on two RE SX 18s 146.4 @ 36hz, Termlab, legal, sealed on one RE SX 18 Link to my hack-built, stupid, carbon fiber wasting project.... http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/149946-carbon-fiber-box-update-1494db-37hz-on-tl/ http://gifsoup.com/NDM3MTc1MQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanSierra Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Time to get OFF of the 25 series and put some meat between the metal and asphalt. Sorry to hear about it sir. On a side note, in the event of an accident, we know the sub box will survive. It's like the little black box. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
