Sometimes you gotta perform a field fix.... The much loved Mazda 5 of doom needed new tires and I scored a set of Michelins that are just a little larger than the too large ones that were on the RX8 wheels. And the first big bump on 285 was a scrapefest So now its up to 235 50 18's and rolled by Louisville Slugger fenders. Results to follow.

We did it with a truck tire iron the last track weekend on Saturday morning. I knew I should have test fit those new tires on the car :-) I will say it was way easier to finish them correctly with a proper fender roller when someone felt bad for us, and found one in their trailer later in the day.

In reply to wake74 :
It turned out amazingly well. Probably because the 15 year old did most of the work.
I’ve used a bat on several 914 s successfully. I was wondering if a bat will work on the Miata if needed.
Have any pictures of said Mazda5 of doom with it's new shoes? I love me some Mazda5...
