Tires and Wheels mounted !
It's been a long weekend. Re-organized the motorcycle shop and started to get my outside office back in order (it's only been 24 months.. but that's another sorted tail). Wife is still recovering from some surgery so I'm getting in project work where I can. Yesterday I managed to get the tires mounted on the wheels (Thanks Discount Tire for mounted them and getting the direction CORRECT even without the car there). They look pretty sweet an the best part is I saved weight:
NEW: Konig Helium 15x6.5 + 205/50R15 Hankook Z212 = 28 lbs.
OLD: Mazda 14x5.5 + 195/60R14 Falkek Azenis Sport = 31.5 lbs.
Today will be spent scrubbing them in and finding some good starting tire pressures. Members of Miata.net suggested starting around 32/31 and adjusting as needed. Time to go PLAY!!
Reorganized shop. That was a lot of work yesterday and it's maybe 1/2 way done. Going out there is still a little freaky. It was so much work in the heat (OK, for here it was HOT!) it's just a blur. A little bit like an out-of-body short reorg experience. I'm liking it though! I just hope all 4 sleds fit in there come Aug 22nd!
