Quite a few posts in here on it for selection.

Yes, I plan to buy taller LRR tires with ideally, a stock width in the front and a notch or two slimmer in the rear. That would also leave more room for rear wheel skirts I reckon
in one swift motion I may also swap for lightweight rims once I evaluate the stock rims weight vs. aftermarket options. Rotational weight, much more sensitive than dead weight.

Good luck with the mods. |
Absolutely, the nut behind the wheel is my most frequent adjustment
I know I will be able to sustain 50mpg, the matter is how high a speed I can keep while doing so. I feel honored to have your support, I'm a big fan of Berta's
