I had LRR's... they were bigger, and heavier than the stock tires. I took them off a few days ago, and I'm waiting on this tank and the next one to find out for sure if they actually did anything.

It doesn't matter if they did, I sold two of them to a friend who needed some tires for his car so he could get back and forth where he needs to go without asking for rides all the time.

I have a feeling they weren't really doing much, though, since they were like 1.5x the weight of the OEM combo at each corner. In fact, I don't want to say for sure that they were hurting me, but I think they were at least canceled out by the weight gain.

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.
