hdorre Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 The drive may not be super comfortable. Even though you said you're a good driver, I'd still bring a spare Quote On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 I drove from NY to Florida for SBN 2009 on 235/30/20 and didnt have a problem. Caught a flat in Maryland and ended up buying a new tire. Wasnt due to a pothole, so just be careful and take a spare just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wL<3bass Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Take a spare and take some cash incase you have to have it towed b/c if you leave that thing on the freeway and I guarantee those wheels will be gone within an hour... or worse.

sphinxbccp Posted May 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 (edited) i plan on putting my roof rack back on and throwing my stock tires up there (yes someone will say roll with the stock tires... their a worse ride then the rubber bands.) ive driven to CO before but it was in a stock f150, there roads were pretty good the whole way but this was 3 years ago...
