Yeah, I actually have been wanting to do that simply for looks. Improved MPG would be a bonus. Or vice versa.

But tires are expensive. Mine has 18" rims, and I the cheapest I can replace them is still over $500! I'd drop wheel sizes if I could (get tall tires for some 16" wheels), but the brake system won't allow it. Hope these last a while longer!
