I did that route recently except I went from upstate NY to Austin when I went on the power tour. Stock wheels is probably the best for that trip if you are gonna be slammed and cambered out. When I did that trip, it was the camber that ate the tires really so if you can get it back to little to NO camber, then I would only attempt to do it. It looks like your on air so I think you will be fine if you go all the way up for the long hauls.

Make sure to tape up your front too if you dont want the rock chips and bugs banging up your paint.

IDK if your in a rush to get there but if you go through Tennessee and arkansas then down to texas, there is ALOT more to see and better stops. TN happens to be one of my favorite states even though I only been there once

Yea I'm crunched for time......I start training on Monday morning.

I wasn't too worried about camber wear. My ride height isn't that low so that's not the problem. I'm worried about getting a flat in the boonies LOL. I know that can happen with any tire but it worries me. I know a normal person would say if it worried you ride stock, but I'll be so sad without my wheels lol....especially if I go to any meets or shows.
