As a general plan, Kent at A Wind of Change is a Charter sponsor of IBX and also has always been my source for them when I've needed them.

I have three plastic rims and crappy PL tires installed, 1 unmournted crappy tire, and two oxidized plastic rims and crappy tires.

I can bring all if needed.

I want to keep the three rim/tire combo but you can have the rest...but if I bring the extra three I absolutely do NOT want to bring them home!

If you want them, lemme know and they will join me on the trip.

Steve,

I second your recommendation of the 6-ply tires. They rock!

Also, Steve, I never noticed all your straps hanging down draggin'. You should raise your seat.

Ha!!!

(Inside joke...he is always picking on me to raise my seat because I am millimeters off the playa. But, it gives me the trademark "Vapor trails")

iPaul, you are dead right about those straps. What a fashion foul! I will make sure I have a clean suitable solution worked out by IBX 2019. Shame on me. Great tires! And for the record, it was iPaul who recommended them to me, and a fine suggestion it was.
