When is too much?

What am I referring to? Tires in my garage. Long ago everyone on Solo2.org did a count of tires and wheels in their arsenal.

I think I might win if we did that again, here's a current count of tires/wheels that are in my garage, and does not include tires mounted to any of our 4 vehicles or two trailers.

4 street tires off the 240Z
4 Hoosier tires for the Corvette (good race tires)
4 new street tires for the Corvette
2 new Hoosier tires for the Corvette
8 combination of used race Wheels (3) and tires (8) for the Corvette
1 spare trailer tire
1 inflatable spare for the datsun

That's 24 sitting in my garage right now, pictures for proof.

Not to mention the 2 L28 blocks, rear hatch, 3 transmissions and full spare suspension for the 240Z that are also in the garage.
