:D :D :D :D ME! :D :D :D :D

No problems whatsoever! I used my old 275/40's on the front and bought new 275/18's for the rear.

I like the look, the ease of cleaning vs my originals and the fact that I have a built in alibi now, speedometer error, if I have to answer a speeding ticket.

18's will understate your speed 4%

$169.99 is the cost for a speedometer calibrator from Eckler's.
