This would be my luck

Ugh. I'd hate to drop more money on this car right now but I also don't want to risk a blowout either. I have the stock 17" rims and Pirelli's that my FIL brought down but I don't want to have to store those rims until these tires would wear out. Plus they are 10 years old too but less than a few thousand miles driven on them.

I guess if I did replace them I'd just get some size that's on there. It's probably make everything easier.

If you're on a road all alone, they're worthless. They're certainly not worthless on roads where there are any cars at all ahead of you.

I would recommend replacement of those tires. Ten years is longer than I would drive on a tire that has just mostly sat. They get hard and crack then peel off and then you could look like the car posted above

They're legal in IA and Mo where I'll use it.

Thanks for the info.

Don't they make these where I don't have to mount them on my dash? Big ugly thing on my new car's dashboard. Do those exist?

The ones I've been seeing lately are tiny and are affixed to the windshield with suction cups.

Are you talking about a laser jammer or a radar detector?

Cool. Should be able to google and find the smaller ones.

Replace them. Tires degrade over time even if you don't drive on them. You are on borrowed time with those.

I assume you're talking about a radar detector and not a laser jammer. Please clarify.

Here's a couple pics of my Passport Max2 radar detector. I installed it this weekend. It is hardwired to switched power and cleanly installed via a Blendmount.

The laser jammer is completely separate. I have three heads for the front and two for the rear.

Radar detectors still work. Most police departments use laser for revenue generation (speed enforcement).

The good radar detectors will pick up radar far away. If they pick up the laser, it's usually a courtesy notification that you will be getting pulled over and making a contribution to the general fund of that municpality.

Radar jammers are extremely illegal and will get you in a world of shit if you're caught with one (the FCC regulates them). Laser jammers/shifters are a state by state thing (mostly illegal) and are regulated by the FDA (IIRC) and won't get you in a world of shit if you are caught with them).

I have a passport Xi or Ix (can't remember right now) and have it hard wired as well. Only thing that sucks about a mirror mount is that it makes it super hard for the detector to pick up laser hits.
