There is a significant incline to the driveway, but the brick section is at the top. Closest turn is 3 houses over.

Yes, I'm not worried about frost. I've already poured 2/3 of it, I'm on the last section. "They" is me with a mixer. I've used 1/2" pink bar for reinforcement in a grid spaced about 17" apart.

Thanks, the problem is that the brick foundation gets in the way of board... The side walk... will have to wait for another time, I'm done working in the heat.

Here are some better photos.

Thanks! After many readings, I finally understood the method you described (getting old). Any expansion would still push against the brick base. On the other hand the expansion foam they sell is 4" like everyone pours only 4" thick concrete. I'm doing a minimum of 5".

I'm extending my driveway and pouring concrete from the curb to the garage. The garage side has a brick section with some kind of mortar foundation/base. How would I install an expansion strip without removing the mortar base (which might bring down the whole brick section once I start...

I didn't drive the car since my last post here, sorry :confused:

Less grip, worse ride... I was set on going with 205/65R15 a while ago, but that size didn't fit properly in the spare tire compartment (too wide). IMO Sacramento has the worst roads on the West coast. I gambled and took the car to Wally, fortunately their system didn't ring any alarms and they...

I'll take just the wheels there before I go back to 185/65R15. Just don't want to lose the lifetime balancing.

195 on the car now, only 185 on the sticker. LE and SE trims come with 195/65R15, same car, cosmetic differences. That's market segmentation for you.

What are the chances Walmart won't install these tires (185/65R15 on the sticker of this CE model)? I've never had tires installed at wally, do they need a car on the work order for lifetime balancing?

The donut spare in the Corolla was inflated to 55psi 6months before...

I ordered the KU27... Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the photos! Where are the 195/65R15 made?

Thanks!
