So I mocked up my new full aero-shell rough foam core yesterday, the fit is pretty good, just need to start smoothing and shaping it. (Forgot the pictures, will add them to this post later.) After that test fit, I reinstalled my air dam and half shell, so I am back to having all my aeromods to date in place.

Also last week I pulled off my fairly worn Michelin LTX M/S2 LT235/85R16 Tires. I got a friend to help me grove and sipe my other tires, half worn Cooper Discoverer A/S LT255/85R16, to be a little more onroad friendly and installed them on my Tacoma. (You can see the results in my previous post.) The gearing is higher due to the larger diameter (11% over stock), but the more aggressive tread pattern is louder, which is the sound of aerodynamic drag.

I will use the next few weeks to test the MPG differences between the two tires. I will be using these tires primarily until I buy something to replace the other worn tires.

As promised, here are the pictures.
