Thanks, will do. My commute to school is less than 2km (1.25mi), and almost all stop and go on a steep hill. So it really makes it difficult to find much room for coasting especially with the engine off. Lately, however, I've been taking side streets which allow me to p&g a tiny bit, but still difficult due to all the stop signs every block.

BFGOODRICH Winter Slalom P185/60/R15. I just double-checked and the max pressure is 44psi. For some reason I had it in my notes that I couldn't fill over 35.

I will, I have a SGII and just built a 60% grille block prototype. I'm going to be posting some pics within the next hour or so.
