Picked up 3-bottles of Motul 600 brake fluid and a set of F&F StopTech SS brake lines from ImportPartsPro. Kyle never fails on product selection and pricing.

Looks like I'm going to run the Michelin Pilot Super Sports; 255/40 & 285/35 19's. The BFG Comp-2's still have no ETA. The Michelin's show a delivery date of 01-May for the 285's. Perfect timing as that's the day I depart Baghdad. My wheel guy is out of town this week so I'm going to order mid/late this week. going directly to him for mounting and balancing.

Nice Those PSS w/ the rest of your "goodies" is icing on the cake, really looking forward to seeing this all come together.

Well I went with the Michelin Pilot Super Sports; 245/40 & 285/35's. Really was trying to stuff a 255 & 295 but rather play it safe till next tire replacement.

With that said it tax season and I'm looking at wheels. As much as I really want another set of HREs I think I'm going to save some money since my son is due in May. What is everyone's thoughts on the new WORK Gnosis CV201? I'm digging them and PMed RavSpec for pricing.

Can't wait to see them on! Those will look so sick.

Nothing wrong with being a bit conservative, much better than rolling the dice and end up w/ issues. Damn that's going to be a sweet start to that build. It'll be nice to hear how much room you truly have back there. I still think 295s would work but just barely

Yeah... Came very close to ordering a 295/30 but I just don't have the time to exchange tires if they don't fit. If I was home longer and w/o a baby due in May I would have.

Nice Robert
You're keeping the economy & UPS rolling strong!
You're going to be pretty sore twisting all those wrenches when you get back (and all the diaper changes, lol)

LOL! Yeah I'm going to be VERY busy this R&R. However next to my son being born I'm looking forward to a Combat Shotgun course I'm taking. 250rds of 12 gauge going to be fired. LOL!!! That is where I think I'm going to be the most sore from.

Well the Michelin PSS and the BFG Sport Comp-2 are on national backorder. Went with the Hankook Ventus V12's from DiscountTireDirect.com. Was really looking forward to trying those PSS's. But with my limited time home had to get something.
