not a lot of miles at all…plus I have street tires already (just to cruise around it, cheap-years of some sort)

I got a set of kosei k-1’s that need some attention (they ahve 22X8 slicks, but those are too small, anybody need em or wants to trade for 24.5X8?)

my tranny is a bit short, first gear is nice 2.3 then 1.80/1.45/1.5 which kinda sucks, but it’s got a diff. in it so I couldn’t pass it up, I’ll just run taller tires, I have room in the fender
