Does anyone happen to know if there's such a thing as a Tire Tail (http://www.izoomgraphics.com/) for the 350Z? I've seen Tire Tails for Miatas and WRXs/STis, but not for Zs. And even if a Tire Tail for our cars does exist, would I be better off getting a hitch and then pulling a small trailer to haul my rims and tires to and from each event?

I've autoxed my ZR quite a few times this summer, and plan to keep autoxing the car as long as I have it. From the start, I've run each event on street tires, but would eventually like to get another set of rims and some R-compound tires. The only thing stopping me at this point from investing in wheels and tires is having a way to haul them around.

Thanks for any advice that anyone has to offer.

 

I'd go ahead and get the trailer too. think about all the other things you have to carry with you. jacks, tools, chairs, coolers. It will make it a lot easier with a trailer that has some storage space on it!

 

YEp, get a trailer.

Drilling hole in the bumper is a bummer thought.

 

trailer FTW

 

No need to drill a hole in the bumper, there are hitches available that work without heavily modifying the rear (other than you WILL want to make sure that the bumper reinforcement brackets are "reinforced").

 

The sites where we autocross are less than 20 miles from my house. I change tires at home and drive to the site on the R-comps. Much easier to change tires at home anyway.

 

The thing that I like about a trailer is that everything is there -- all I have to do is put the receiver in the car and hook up the trailer. Everything is there and all ready to go!
