New tires and wheels!

Finally have much deliberation I decided on Continental PureContact tires in 195/65 15 size. Not much taller so little for every 100 miles I drive its actually 101 so it'll be easy to calculate at fill ups! Did manage to drop 8lbs total from tire and wheel combo. I've attached a before and after picture

Tiny little pictures, but I'm happy for you.

2lb per corner?

Very interested in your results with the Conti tires Sully, keep us informed. Unfortunately the weather will be helping your mileage as well so it might be hard to measure precisely.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing but its very windy today and its going to cool back off. I will compare results with old tanks around the same climate for a more accurate comparison
