Viper Tires Make Great Furniture

When I put new R888’s on my Viper the other day, those old Pilot Sports were just too gorgeous to pay someone to throw away. Some cleaner, a round piece of wood for the base, and a glass table topper made the perfect coffee table for a car enthusiast that likes expensive tires but thinks expensive furniture just doesn’t make sense. We’ve been married 4 years and never had a coffee table; heck, we don’t even have a bed - just a mattress and boxspring. Priorities.

My dog, Pillow, also likes it for some reason and prefers to nap next to it instead of on the couch like he used to. He looks angry in this picture because he is a weirdo and the least photogenic dog ever, but he is a huge sweetheart.

And, yes I am actually married to a woman that is cool with tires in the living room, and I let her have the other 335/30ZR18. She isn’t done designing hers and neither of us are artistic, so please be nice about hers. Hers will have a wood top and will rotate open for us to store our board games and blankets ( I swear we aren’t as old as that sentence makes us sound).

Happy Friday!

And I thought my 295s were wide. Dwamn. I really like the glass topper on one and the wooden decoration for storage. She did well!

I thought the Viper Maintenance manual said to do burnouts until tire shreds itself for proper removal...

Unfortunately mine didn’t come with a manual. Those tires were so old that they scared me to death, they had probably been on the car for 10 years. I'd be in a ditch if I didn't change them out.

I had a budget of mid 30’s. I cross-shopped a GLA250, Subaru Outback, and my dream car the Viper. I got the Viper.

I’d say she is killing in the art dept. nice clean lines and an aesthetically pleasing design.

At least the Viper only trashes tires two at a time. Given the choice of driving an Outback like you wish it was a Viper and a Viper just as if it were an Outback most of the time, you destroy tires at the same rate, and four tires for the Outback might even be less than two for the Viper. All completely reasonable.

that’s a great point; I wish I would have thought of that when I explained to my wife I needed new tires for the car I just bought. Though, when I accelerated medium-fast in a straight line and lost traction while she was in the car, she came around pretty quickly.

read my earlier post about how a cop pulled me over when I was treating the speed limit like it was just a suggested speed, but he only wanted to look at it. it’s got one in there. Here's my bipolar garage

thanks! She is going to add some more to it and then put some polyurethane on it to make it shiny. and 295's are wide! 335's are just ridiculous.

Oh hey I remember that post. somehow it didn’t register that there was a viper owner on here.

I’m actually a HUGE Viper fan myself see a few of my Viper related post below.

Great posts! If you're ever in the Columbus GA area let me know and we can hit up some back roads!

It will probably never happen since I’m in the great white north(Canada) but you can bet your ass I’ll never pass up the chance to go cruising in the Viper. So If I’m ever in the area I’ll hit you up.

I’ve been given warnings as well and then asked a bunch of questions by officers. It’s quite refreshing.

You're lucky if you don't have to come here. Hot and humid and not the greatest place in general; just here cause the army sent me

It’s soooo comfy! We have sleepovers on the couch sometimes cause it’s more comfortable than the bed. Couchies!

Great idea, I’ll have to do something similar when it’s time to replace mine. Your wife’s looks awesome!

There was a guy with blue a 2006-ish SRT10 coupe but he sold it about a month ago.

Blue with white stripes makes me moist.
