the silver van got a stone puncture (those, in my mind, daft 16"
hydroedge tires :)) on a rural gravel road at end of trip. That was my
high lift, I store it under the rear seat. Not the best storage
solution but I haven't made one of those chest thumping macho exterior
mounts yet.

I was running skinny (185/14) summer tires - Michelin Agilis 81,
maroon syncro had 15" nokian WRC.
