The fronts are 215s I believe on 15 inch wheels - stock height I believe, the backs are 225s on 16s just because I had them laying around and needed tires. Has a rake but I let all the air out of my rear shocks that helped but idles still raked a tad. Might be going back to my old job that is 9 miles away so that will take the fun out of this project lol. I'll still go to the gym which will.make my commute 62 miles round trip instead of 120.

You may already know that skinnier tyres decrease the rolling resistence. Anyway, have you ever lurked about engine mods?
