Does Wheel Size Matter?

Yeah, I was thinking I'd do a two-day detour out your way.

I know bigger diameters would let the rubber last longer, but the P*n*s Envy is something I got over in Basic Training.

I know how you feel. On our move up through Laredo, TX, from Guadalajara, MX, we tried hominy grits in small truckstop. Loved them. The further North we got up to Canada, we kept asking for them, and got them up to South Dakota. None. 6 days of a having many different meals, in small and large roadside stops, and then we got typical Northern meals.

Then, we get here and I ask where I can find Maple Syrup. It used to be in every grocery store. I have to go to the Duty-Free shop at the friggin' airport. The real insult is that my Province is the 3rd biggest producer.

 

OH HELL YES cornbread, collard ,or mustard greens and oh yea stormin grits,,,,,,,,,,man am i gitten hungry again and i just had kerplunk mexican food,,,,,funny thing also some people round think thats soul food ,,,,and i look at my caucasin/colored skin (tattooes) and tell hell i,m a po white boy and thats not soul food it,s GOOD FOOD i usally get a look of that boy just aint right

 

Ain't that the truth.

 

I gotta get back in the kitchen and make up some of my French Canadian meals. I got so used to my wife's Mexican cookin', that I got lazy. You guys are both makin' me hungry. I was laying out the summer garden plan today. We always grow 4 or 5 types of tomatoes, spices, some Okra too, and cukes and lettuce. Last year we grew the Fairmont. This year, the groceries.

 

Sounds like a Plan. Now start Plowing.

 

Heck even the electric plough won't start - freezing rain tonite and tomorrow. Then 5 inches of snow the next day.

 

duuuuude i love mexican food and yea there aint to much that is grown outta the dirt i wont eat,,,its funny round this neck of the hood here it seems like there is a mexican joint on every corner and a bus/taco joint sammiched between them,,,,its actually difficult to find a simple steak house type restarant let alone a GOOD bar be que joint that knows how to make cornbread ,,,,,BUT not to far from here is a joint called catfish corner i,ve been dyin to try and the other day there was a small write up in the local newspaper on them and they even have sweet tea ,,,another delicasy ummmm yummy

 

Kinda funny ya know. When we lived in Guadalajara, you could walk down the street and sit down at a little mom & pop outdoor cafe and eat all kinds of Mexican food (which we did a lot!), and then go another block and have the best darn hamburgers I've ever eaten. But you'd be hard-pressed to find a US burger franchise anywhere. The one A&W we saw had been closed for years. The MacDonalds were really small and barely any customers. No Burger King, and even the rare KFC wasn't all that busy.

But go to a sit-down upscale restaurant and all you could find was American meals (Northern US, no Southern food).

We got invited to my wife's best girlfriend's wedding. Never had goat in my life, but her dad had two manual rotisseries roasting 4 goats for the dinner (outdoor wedding). Yummy? Oh man, pure yummy. I was gonna say pigout, but these were so much better. mmmmm - I still taste it. Goat goes real good with 60-proof Tequila. Good thing it was close to the house! I never wobbled, but I couldn't have driven a baby carriage that night.

 

tire size man!!!...tire size!!...geez...focus!!!

 

Ok, instead of talking about stomach bloated tire size, and how to get there, let's get back to wheels and tires. Thanks Rev. The menus were so good, though.

I guess big tires would last longer driving to Mexican restaurants and some of that good Southern food. Just leave Aligator bacon (New Orleans specialty) alone. Too fishy.

Do the new low-profile tires add any real safety margin for heavy vehicles? I guess they're available from 15" and up, right?
