Heads up, there were some technical difficulties with this episode. Did my best to clean it up, but a few spots were still glitchy. The rest I chopped out so if you hear a few rough edits this has been equal parts apology and warning.
Dan Grec is BACK. Actually, he never left. This week's episode was recorded just after the last episode and Dan and I continue talking about tires as well as suspension. We drop some nuggets of wisdom like, "better is more important than bigger" and "biggest tire with the least amount of lift."
Echoes of Adventure: Season 3, Episode 8: Your tires are just as much a part of your suspension as your springs and your shocks. In this episode Dan Grec from the Road Chose Me and I discuss some of the important factors to consider if you decide to modify your vehicle's suspension.
