    so I want to do the 1/4

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    but my tires are toast (already had one pop on me), and I need to get ready for winter... problem is I can't afford a winter and summer setup. Should I just wrap the current ones in duct tape and run them as drag radials?

    My best bet would be to slap some all seasons and chew them up on the track, huh. Curious what an alignment typically costs too.

    Re: so I want to do the 1/4

    take em all off.. buy 8 rolls of duct tape and some roofing nails.. and tape the nails flat side to the tire, in random spots around the tires.. studded snow tires, and i would use black tape for drag radials

    well obviously, i was going to do a layer of duct, then just electrical tape around it for the black.. black duct tape is out of my price range

    Is this a joke?

    I mean, I have never heard of wrapping a tire in duct tape!
