When I shake the tires, the car shakes, and I tried to pull the tires off to no avail. They seem to be on there pretty good, but am I a retard for even attempting this?

Yes and no, do have a car or truck lol would be alot easier or get one of your buddys. Just make sure they dont dent or ruin your trunk. And watch for the cops might be ****** and pull you over.
I would just put the Azenis on the car. Not like they're R comps.
Bah... those arent Azenis!!! they are nitto NT-01's DOT R-comps.
Hey, go for it, some miatas have luggage racks and people use them. I say it looks pretty Legit. Like others have said, careful of marks on the trunk by how tight your tie downs are.

You could have atleast put the strap on top of the towel instead of letting it wear into your paint man under it all.
Would people be interested in tire tails and hitches if I found I could manufacture them relatively cheaply compared to the Dalan's and whatnot?

The dalan hit might work with it. I don't know though. I'm sure that question has been asked and answered at m.net.
Why dont you drive on the 6ul's and put the stockers in the seat/trunk? Would you honestly want to loose your brand new tires and wheels on the freeway or your suticase? Plus you will eventually need to break those tires in why not a nice drive back down to SLO?
they didn't look like azenis to me, but someone said it first so I rolled with it. consider putting whatever fits in the pax seat, then mailing whatever personal stuff that won't fit in the car to your dorm/school address. I personally would not be comfortable with that big wall o wheels on the trunk catching air. Plus shipping costs would be somewhat offset by economy. Not to mention pleasantness in driving.
NT01s are kind of expensive to drive on the street. Much more expensive then the all weather $38 tires he has on his daises.

my preference is to keep the trunk open, stick a large PVC pipe through 3-4 of the tires (depending on width) and load them into the trunk opening that way. The PVC then gets strapped down - hook on the rear roll bar brace, over the PVC, and down through the grommet in the trunk floor. now hook to the rear baby teeth. Cinch down and those tires are going NOWHERE.
4 195 tires fit fine, but with 225 hoosiers it'll only take 3, one has to ride shotgun.
