Don't know if he'll let you borrow it or not, but Bob at www.oceanstateoffroad.com has one.

Where in RI?

i'm in north kingstown. 35min away. i dont' know the guy but i doubt any shop would let me borrow a tool they get paid money to use... unless your friends with him and can get me on the inside track.:laugh3:

yea q's rock it's like riding on a coushion when there aired down. great tire for around here, and for the xj i think they look just right not to wide not too skinny.

Bob used to have a XJ that had 35s, then the next owner put Qs on it. Looked sick.

Give him a call. With Bob, you never know what he will or won't do. Dunno...

You should stop in and say "hey".

I'm about out of blades for it. For what they cost (like $65 delivered) you can't go wrong just buying one.

Yup, 250W. They make lots of different size and shape blades for it too, and you can use it to sipe too. Once you start cutting tires, you won't be able to stop.
