Big motors, and the relatively heavy weight of my right foot, I imagine. happy77

Yeah, I have a congenital lead foot. :shrug: When in town, there are long 30MPH streets I actually set my cruise control on, or I'll be doing 45 before I get to the next light.

Another problem I have... I can't seem to keep hind-ward tires... For some reason they're soon down to threads... Three pairs to the back for every pair in the front. It's a karma thing I think. I can't explain it otherwise.
Although I do consider it my duty, when in receipt of new rear tires, to let all the smoke out of them. :laugh:

Oh, i get the occasional chirp out of mine, but I'm ever conscious that a set of relatively tame skins for my daily driver sets me back the better part of a grand with mounting and balancing...so I try to keep the rubber on 'em.

That is primarily what cured me too.. The pickup has swampers... Fifteen hundred to a set, if I get lucky.
And 15" wide, anything over 37s, even with a porker, they don't turn over so good... Doesn't stop me from trying tho... :laugh: But get me in a mudhole, I'll put rooster tails 50 ft in the air, and soon enough it'll be raining cow pies. :laugh: Best thing ever!
