instant improvement in my ZX2

i deliver pizzas, anyone who's ever read 1 of my threads or post of any sort knows this even though sometimes i think they are totally ignored which is fine by me i guess but anywho, i went to Wal-Mart yesturday n got a set of Kumho Solus KR21 185/60/15 tires put on w/ tire psi @ 32 in front n 35 in rear (manufacturer recomendation) btw total out the door cost was 364.16, sure they don't have road hazard n i had to get rid of my tires myself (which thankfully i have a friend that owns a junk yard) n bring in my own valve stems they were gonna charge $10, i got em from PepBoys for less then $5 n so far i'm @ 110miles n i've burned just barely over a 1/4 tank which might not be as good as others but considering just 1 day ago that same mileage would've left me @ 1/2 a tank or less i'm really happy n i still have plenty of things that i can do to it, my next mod is gonna be a K&N cold air intake n maybe a fart can muffler, which might not help MPG too much, but it will boost my HP a lil (very lil i know) which may get my deliveries to their destination a lil sooner, after those 2 i will b saving for a CF trunk n a CF hood n a lightweight flywheel n a underdrive pulley which will make it lighter thereby increasing MPG
