Current Tires are 275/65/18.
New Wheel/Tires are 275/55/20 (2015 Stock Wheels and Tires)

Also will the difference in 18's and 20's be noticeable with my fuel mileage?
Google miata tire calculator and plug in the sizes and see

Trying to get the wheels turning for another week.....

If everything goes as planned I am going to take next week off as well as another week in early November to spend a little time in the garage with my cars! At my company vacation time is a "use-it-or-lose-it" proposition, and with the workload I've had the past few years I am in no mood to turn unused vacation days back into the company at the end of the year!

With my time off next week I'm thinking I will finally drive the F-150 a little bit and then take some time to detail it and install a few of the goodies I've collected for it over the past few years -- a 20" Roush rim-and-tire package, some Harley heads, a set of caliper covers and maybe even break down and install the Troyer tune (93 Performance) I had written for it a couple of years back.....

How the heck can you buy goodies for your vehicles and keep the parts for a few years before installing? That would drive me nuts knowing I had it and it wasn't installed. . What type of device for the Troyer Tunes?

The programmer is an SCT -- it took me over a year to get my Troyer tune and it has been sitting in my computer for well over a year since I received it. I just hope the dang thing works since it looks as if Troyer is now out of business.....

Yeah -- believe me when I tell you that I wish I had more time to spend with my toys, but between parenthood and work these last few years have been brutally busy! I can't imagine what it must be like to be Bluejay or Paw and actually have time to do something that YOU want to do for a change.....

With the wife still working 4 days a week I actually get bored not having enough to do. In fact so bored today I went and got flu and tetanus shots this evening. Did the dishes...clothes and straightened the house this morning. The 15 yr old grandson spent the weekend with us and he makes a big mess!

I guess it's kind of nice to be able to get into the thing from the side while it is under cover, but I'm thinking it would also be kind of nice to extended the metal panels all the way down to ground level and have the trailer fully enclosed while it is in storage.....???
