Rocky Mountain Race Week 2.0 with The LSXcalade! What's My Plan?
What happens here
Begin the preparation by addressing the tires. The presenter notes that two of his existing Hoosier tires are a year old, have dried out, and are leaking air, necessitating replacement. He acquired two new bias-ply Hoosier tires. The special characteristic of these tires is that they ship 'wadded up' to save space. For installation on beadlock wheels, only the rear bead needs to be dismounted, allowing for self-installation. This step also covers replacing existing rubber valve stems with more durable metal bolt-in valve stems.
Goal: Replace worn tires and upgrade valve stems for improved reliability.
