Default A Tire Test - Any Input???

I recently bought a Miata with worn tires on the rear, the front pretty
good. So, I decided to replace the rear tires. Having bought the car, the
old bank account was about as dry as a parched well in Arizona. Decided to
buy a couple of Daytona tires with a wear rating of 530, even harder than my
truck tires. The car darts with the least movement of the wheel. Is this
what you would expect? If not, what would you expect?

Thanks,

David

P.S. Makes driving an experience. You have to really drive the car, not
just ride in it.

The first problem is replacing just the rear tires. In a car dominated
by its handling characteristics, mixing tires is a no-no. The other
issue is the tire you chose, not so much its wear rating but its
performance characteristics. The car doesn't "need" high performance
tires but it does need tires beyond the typical family sedan rubber. I
had to install a different wheel and tire combination on one wheel as a
temporary spare and although it was a tire similar in performance to the
other three and on a Miata wheel, the handling was terrible until I got
a matched set back on the car. You will really have a problem if you
have to test the performance of the car in an emergency situation or in
the rain.

flesh.
Place 1 quart water in a baking pan, the meat on a wire rack.
Bake uncovered in 250° oven for 1½ hours.
When browned, remove and glaze,
return to oven and bake 20 minutes more to form a glaze.
Cut ribs into individual pieces and serve with extra sauce.



Fresh Sausage

If it becomes necessary to hide the fact that you are eating
human babies, this is the perfect solution.
But if you are still paranoid, you can substitute pork butt.

5 lb. lean chuck roast
3 lb. prime baby butt
2 tablespoons each:
salt
black, white and cayenne peppers
celery salt
garlic powder
parsley flakes
brown sugar
1 teaspoon sage
2 onions
6 cloves garlic
bunch green onions, chopped

Cut the children?s butts and the beef roast into pieces
that will fit in the grinder.
Run the meat through using a 3/16 grinding plate.
Add garlic, onions and seasoning then mix well.
Add just enough water for a smooth consistency, then mix again.
Form the sausage mixture into patties or stuff into natural casings.



Stillborn Stew

By definition, this meat cannot be had altogether fresh,
but have the lifeless unfortunate available immediately after delivery,
or use high quality beef or pork roasts (it is cheaper and better to
cut up a whole roast than to buy stew meat).

1 stillbirth, de-boned and cubed
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 large onions
bell pepper
celery
garlic
½ cup red wine
3 Irish potatoes
2 large carrots

This is a simple classic stew that makes natural gravy,
thus it does not have to be thickened.
Brown the meat quickly in very hot oil, remove and set aside.
Brown the onions, celery, pepper and garlic.
De-glaze with wine, return meat to the pan and season well.
Stew on low fire adding small amounts of water and
seasoning as necessary.
After at least half an hour, add the carrots and potatoes,
and simmer till root vegetables break with a fork.
Cook a fresh

Cook a fresh pot of long grained white rice.



Pre-mie Pot Pie

When working with prematurely delivered newborns (or chicken) use sherry;
red wine with beef (buy steak or roast, do not pre-boil).

Pie crust (see index)
Whole fresh pre-mie; eviscerated, head, hands and feet removed
Onions, bell pepper, celery
½ cup wine
Root vegetables of choice (turnips, carrots, potatoes, etc) cubed
