Thanks to the guys at Swerve for doing a clean and professional job on installing my new sneakers yesterday. Was very impressed by the cleanliness of the shop and the care taken in all aspects of the install. Appreciate the good work and would recommend highly. ![http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/arrowenterprises/photobucket-3061-1340455165221.jpg](http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/arrowenterprises/photobucket-3061-1340455165221.jpg) ![http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/arrowenterprises/photobucket-30030-1340455173720.jpg](http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/arrowenterprises/photobucket-30030-1340455173720.jpg) ---

> [@Mankthetank19](#): > > Looks good!! > > Were you at Klocs last night? No. Saturday I had to go into Buffalo / Kenmore to help out my mother in law. Pretty much there and back. I’ll try to get pics of the new rubber. My phone wouldn’t adjust to the low light in their shop. Same size but should bite better. ---

Swerve was the only place around here that could swap tires on my Lotus and didn’t want a million dollars for it. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. ---

Yeah. No one really wants to, or has the tools to, work on anything “custom”. No way to do those tires on Jim Bob’s tire machine. ---

Actual meats installed. Hard time getting light under there. ![http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/arrowenterprises/2012-06-25_11-54-03_679.jpg](http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa354/arrowenterprises/2012-06-25_11-54-03_679.jpg) So far, eliminated wheel spin in middle to upper end of 2nd. Will have to wait and see how they do overall. ---
