Did the tire changeover on the wife's car today.  Bonus that all the winter steelies came off with no trouble at all.  Still lots of tread on both the winters and summers as well.  8)

Took the rear axle off the Austin A40. I won't be using it so hopefully can give it away to someone who wants to build a trailer or something.

Got it out of storage & drove it home. Happily it started, still had oil in it, tires were all still full (had to air them back down), everything functioned properly... and now it's gonna snow tonight :-[

Yep, that's the plan!  Don't think they'll let me take the Wrangler  :rofl2:  And the GF probably won't let me take her Cooper S  :rofl:  Though her Cooper would be good on the track, she has the optional limited slip, so it should get the power down to the ground.

Did you do a show and shine on the renegade?

That's unfortunate!

Put back OEM rims and all season Michelins. Piece of cake with one of these:

Although I think I paid half or so.

If doing track days, you might consider getting different wheels...if only because the Fuchs are so expensive to replace.
