'because the spare in a LS460 would allow the driver to drive forever on it....your G80 must go to a tire shop within 50 mile and you can't drive over a certain speed. That's all.
g90 please (not g80 ) and i got to the tire shop (about 4 mi. away) and was out of there in about 15 minutes (Discount Tire does free tire puncture fix). not a hardship. and no one drives 'forever' in any car or any tires.

Happy anniversary to your car, still looks good @Toys4RJill .
Thanks friend. Had not one mechanical issue for the first 15 years on the road…last five years, it’s about an average of $1000 per year in repairs. It is superior to 21 the 4R I have. Rides better on 17” tires, is two rows with a two tier load levelling shelf in the rear, has nicer door panels with cool door lights…is a V8 and there is no screen which is honestly better IMO.

ftfy.
I’ve said my point. So have others. I questioned the value of having staggered tires and I got my answer and a lot of posts were in defence of it and I don’t agree from simply a peace of mind for long distance trips reasons point of view .. I simply don’t have to worry about my trip being interrupted in any way if I drive my SUVs (knock of wood I haven’t had to use them). I also see why some desire them so much even though I disagree with those views, I can see why. With that said..i think… it’s time to move on.
But something I learned today is that Toyota used to do cross tire rotations with four wheel and five wheel rotations. Somewhere in the last 20 years they have gone to front/back rotation and no cross..and full size spare get spare rotated on one side…even the same model LX470 was cross rotation and then the same model LX470 went to front/back and spare on the side. You learn something knew every day.
The 90s Toyota Supra had staggered tires…I never knew that till just recently

I don't think it's any former employee of any business in our building. They're hitting vehicles in several parking lots around. I haven't heard any details of the damage.
I hope they end up getting some unplanned dental surgery.

aren't all shows regional?
when i think of car shows and especially sitting in cars that hundreds if not thousands of others have done as well, all i can think of is germs.

You've developed quite the aversion to germs...
I enjoy car shows, I think being able to see and experience all the new cars is a huge benefit to a car enthusiast. Pictures and videos and all aren't the same. I'm happy to see some shows doing well...that show looked great...

‘Have to kinda enjoy life. I mean, if somebody actually likes cars, they could appreciate an auto show. if you like a nice steak dinner, you don’t wanna go to a restaurant from time to time?
