Default Cross Country Road Trip..... YEARRRRRRR

So i have decided to change in my plane ticket home from may and use it on spring break me and a buddy heading back home form school. Then i will be picking up the S and heading back to school for the last month and a half. Now the trip is 27XX miles (Mass toIdaho)and is just over 42hours according to Mapquest. but i know i will but hat down dramatically because through the midwest i will be averaging about 120.
Now my only dillema is what to do about the rims. do i keep the stockers on there with the new tires i JUST got and drive the trip with those. OR do i use the RS4 reps and just buy a cheaper but reliable tire for the trip? By the way i dont have a spare. original owner musta sold the full size or soemthing. Would love to hear what you guys think. or what you would do in my situation.
And i maybe be checking to see if there is any detroit or chicago G2G's around the weekend of March 23rdish. cause ill be comeing through around then.

i would just grab a reliable set for the trip and worry about good tires when you are not going to put 2700 miles on them in 3 days

At the very least find a spare before you head out. Unless you wanna be postin a "you guys wudn't BELIEVE what happened to me on my road-trip" thread. Other than that, check with DJSpiel (west of detroit) and SAudi (chicago-ish), and see if one of them cud talk their 'rents into hosting you for a night. Heck, they might even have a spare tire to sell ya... Especially SAudi, LoL (see "crashed sgain" thread)
