I don't think the truckers would actually hit me no I'm not dense. But **** can happen.

Also my comfort zone is just stay with the flow. North Va has enough issue with ass holes slowing up traffic and not moving over to let people pass. I don't want to add to the problem.

The car is factory with the exception of some ebay intake which I plan to put back to stock and it's lowered. Doesn't have the OE wheels. Just sitting on stock tire size wrapped around steel wheels. Just put some Honda Fit alloy wheels on it though with 185/65r15 tires. In the future I plan to go with a set of 15 inch wheels that weigh in at 10 pounds a piece wit 205/50 rubber because another member said they did fine with that size. O and it's 5 speed.

As far as tire pressure goes I live on back winding country roads. I have the tires as high as I can keep them and still have the car handle the way I would like it to. I haven't started my car thread yet but I'm a "racer guy" My other car s are all built for performance. I have sacrifices I'm willing to make and some I'm not so this is why I'm looking to you guys for the help.

As for shift point the hills around my area are a *****. If I shift at 2k all the time I'll never get anywhere on time. It's just ludicrous for me. The way you guys talk you must live on salt flats is what I'm imagining.
Those aren't stock size tires for it. They are 1" taller. The 1997 Civic HX came with 185/65R14 tire (according to tirerack.com). You have 185/65R15 tires on there.
