Yeah Man, those are rubber bands, I am pretty close to that riding on Falken FK452 (235/30-20, 275/30-20). 30 seres all the way around. What are your rears like? From what I remember on those vredestines is that it has a good amount of meat. Do you carry a spare in your car?

Just saw the weather report for up here and it was 50% chance of rain. I don't want to check the weather in VA. Beach, I might jinx us.

Either way, I am going to Va. Beach no matter what that weekend. So, I hope we have something at least a get together at Hooters or something regardless of the weather should it be cancelled because of weather.

People have paid for hotel rooms and such already. Rain or shine we will all get together. My house is still open to come chill at. It's not that big but we did have 30-40 people here last year.

these people cant predict weather 1 day way, how do you expect them to know what the weather is going to be in 5 days. They are just guessing by watching radar.

I'm running a 225/30 on a 20x9 and a 245/30 on a 20x10.5 I'm running like 40-41 psi. I'm ready to attempt it I just will feel better in a caravan toward the back of the pack

Yeah, Matt is right! Just being careful around those potholes. I hit several of them on my tires going down to VA. Beach whenever I visit my family. So far the falken tires held up. Your tires should have no problem, just try your best to avoid them.

You should probably roll down with Chance. He drives very slow and careful when going to meets and he is very good at detecting potholes. Just a thought.

You should be fine.

I drove my ride all the way to ATL and had no issues. As long as I have a spare tire I'm not too worried.

Someone mentioned there was a backway to get to VA Beach instead of going down that highway. Does anyone know that route.
