^ And surprisingly impractical.
Guy on another forum I'm on traded his in for a Toyota LC. Said with a rear facing seat in the G, he had to move the driver's seat forward for it to fit. Not as big of a back seat as you'd think.
That R1S looks quite nice. $450 a tire for replacements on those 22s
But, I remember when 20s first became 'normal' they were pricey too.
As more mfgs are going to 21 or 22 options, hopefully costs come down a bit.

Those are the OEM EV tuned tires. You can get the normal ones for ~$285 a tire.

That's more reasonable. I just did a quick search on tirerack as I have 0 experience with anything >20
21s are still pricey as well. To the tune of about 7-800 more compared to an equivalent 20.

We went for a walk around the block, it's high-end used care sales galore.




Around the corner.

Friday I took Mom to the Dr. This Range Rover blew the limit line & then ran the red. (making a right turn, upper right of the frame)I never came near him, just asserted my lane/right of way. At the next light, he was gesturing wildly, shaking his head & I asked what the problem was. He said I drove like a f00king a$$hole & he had my plate & was going to mail me a ticket. I said you do that (& f00k you) I drove off, he proceeded to follow me & record (illegal in Ca to have a cel phone in your hand while driving) while making the signature gesture.

This is interesting/ironic/funny.

It's funny how certain buildings can be tied back to the brand long after they've moved out. 7-11, IHOP, Pizza Hut, strip clubs, Blockbuster.

Yup, funny how even though they are gone, these repurposed locations are still advertising.
About 2 blocks up the street was a liquor store called Vendome. I delivered for then in 10th grade to such notables as Don Knotts, Judge Wapner & Shari Lewis (went on ONE date with her daughter later) lol

It's now some kind of pet store.

A woman put in a ticket asking that a printer be checked & installed in another person's office. As we are not onsite & it seemed an odd request the tech called, got a message that they were rarely at that phone and asking they call their cel. He called the cel left a message asking for a time to call to walk the user through checking the printer.

Here's the response:
Additional comments 01-31-2023 14:37:31

If you are not able to just send the IT guy down the stairs to my office to check my printer then never mind. I do NOT have time to troubleshoot this I am just asking nicely for someone to take a few minutes to come look at it. I am not going to be able to take a call.

Users, WTF???

Yeah, BBS worth the $
Didn't realize they did the TRD wheels.
At 1300 a wheel, that's insane.

Including 71 for 4 new center caps (the 2 eBay wheels have them so I'l have 2 extra) I'm at 371.86 per wheel, still much more than I have spent for a set of wheels, but way less than the 5k (with tax & shipping) they retail for. Plus the 295 70 18 Cooper AT3s I need which are 271-320 each (waiting for a price match from Discount Tire) it's a chunk 0 change!

I'll be staying stock on the MiniBus & Exploder for a while. Maybe some mild ATs like KO2 or LTX AT.
But I'd have to verify they'll fit on the Explorer, would have to go a bit wider/taller to get them.
Otherwise it'll be highway LTX on both.

Yeah, 99% of my driving is highway, so ride comfort & noise are a priority.
Wife's Exped has a lot more options than the OE 20s on the Exploder.
Long-term, maybe a set of 18s if I want to go the A/T route.

Leg day indeed...
BTW, I put Firestone AT2 on the 2015 Suburban and couldn't be happier.
Beefy looking, great in all conditions thus far...and quiet on the highway with no hit to fuel consumption.
Another great option IMO.

My first Weathertech purchase is underwhelming. Seems cheap, is made of plastic & I forsee it disintegrating if I am hit or back into something. Also, it came direct, in no outer box.

Their products are hit or miss but their laser cut floor mats are pretty dope.

BY THE WAY...I spaced out yesterday.
I went to look it up. I paid $230 a piece on Amazon last April for them.

I got a 285/45/22

Yeah, not much of a hit deterrent, like a solid shank hitch ball. But probably useful as a step, or a shin destroyer.
