FYI, Douglas = Goodyear. It's their lower cost line. Also, new tires are going to be worse (most times). Wait till they have a few k on them before you really compare.

When you lift the rear, you also lower the front. Less air under the front can easily offset the raised rear. The higher rear in a sedan will also tend to fill in the wake at the top of the car.
