Finally got around to getting the Firebird out of the corner of the garage. First thing was new tires. Before even starting it I removed the wheels and took them to the tire shop for a brand new set of BFG TA Radials. On the way to drop them off I realized that a tire on the truck was starting to separate at the plys. So I got two sets of new tires at once. Anyway, Friday I picked up the van with the Firebird tires in the back and had the 'Bird off of the jack-stands and ready for a test drive. Fired right up and all seems good. Yesterday was the day to shift everything around in the garage to summer mode. I think I'm officially ready for summer.
