I'll put ~35 miles on the new tires today. First impression driving 3 miles home yesterday was how soft and quiet the ride was compared to the rock-stiff 44 psi inflated (max sidewall) stock tires. I just checked cold inflation pressure on the new tires. They were at 36-42 psi - with 51 psi max sidewall rating.

There will be a substantial weight penalty. The stock wheel/tire combo weighs 35 lbs per my bathroom scale. The new tires alone weigh 26 lbs, and I obviously don't have 9 lb wheels.

Mark,

Why do you expect I'll have to buy brake parts more often? Why are you assuming I'm doing harm to my car? I'll bet I can easily get 100,000 miles out of a set of brake pads since I so rarely use my brakes to stop.

I've made no claims denying harm or side effects. I'm simply making no assumptions, good or bad, until I do some testing and build some experience driving with the new tires/wheels. You, OTOH, are assuming the worst.
