I wouldn't say its really possible to flat spot them, not like the old polyglass tires. You could just put a few miles on them and they'd round back out. I understand on the regearing part, i think with the rubi and 6spd 35s should my max with the stock gears.

oh and yes, a 20# co2 bottle will do a lot of tires. Nothing like air. Since its in a liquid state, when you use it boils and turns into a gas at a very good ratio. I'm no chemist so i cant get any fancier terminology than that lol

i plan on making a mount to lay the tank down on its side while off roading. I usually flip the back seat up for the room. When i need it ill set it on the ground vertical and have at it.

Either way, it's justification to get new tires

I've been considering that one as well.. My only issue is I want an air tank so I can run a fire truck horn.

Thats another option, isn't too shabby. I'm just too impatient to stand around for 15-20mins+ when its 100* outside to air up I have my 2 small compressors behind the tailight and a mercedes benz small air compressor under the seat for when the co2 isn't there

Give dave at northrodge a call or PM he will hook you up and free shipping and the best price by far.

He's the one I plan on going to when I'm ready to invest in OBA. Right now I'm getting my lift and wheels/tires. Next will be OBA, a Tuffy glove box, and floor mats.

I was all ready to order and I even got a quote for it. But I ended spending more on my daughters 3rd bday than I planed. It is my next mod as soon as I save up again.

i was also kicking around the idea.. as an alternative... getting a power inverter and a small pancake air compressor that i can leave in the garage and load up when i wheel.. course it takes up some room in the back.. but i would imagine it would work quite well.......
