A Visit to TireRack South Bend

[snowsquirrel]

I know, seems crazy to drive there for the tires alone, however, I also did some shopping and spent a day in the Henry Ford's, I made it into a road trip! only 350KM each way from Detroit!
All in all it was an interesting trip, visited Toledo as well.

Noticed TireRack only uses floor jacks? 4 for each bay, total 11 bays.

Yeah, don't seem crazy at the time, esp if you like to travel, bottom line you may not save, but it pays towards the trip.

Are you still driving the gold Echo? Have not notice one on the road.
