And not just any 285, a V710 285, that 99.9% of other installers gave up on.
You came up in conversation this past weekend at the Wendover ProSolo. Our CS class was waiting to run, and was talking about the pain of installing wider tires. The class leader (who works at a tire shop) said it took him a week to get the v710 245's installed the first time, and while he figured out the tricks for that size and later was able to do them fairly quick, he never did try the 285's. Then he pointed to me, and said my tire installer was one of two in the country that was able to do it. The other drivers were suitably impressed.

Alex - those tires were awesome, especially at sites like Hawthorne.
