Re: Pics of Shannons 17" Revos are up.

The ride difference is hardly noticable (which suprised the hell out of me). 
Dont get me wrong when you hit something you know it damn well (hit a chunk 
of road last nite a 3/4 inch tall or so, not even a scrape on the rims or 
tires) but cruising along the only thing you notce is road noise and the 
expansion joints are louder. I drove around downtown seattle tonight and 
didnt really notice any difference that is worth noting. I think alot depends 
on tire pressure with 40 series tires, the installers reccomended 35psi. But 
Ive heard of people running my setup (17's and 40 series rubber) running high 
pressures for some reason (rim protection)? Autoxing on my 195 60R 14's I ran 
48 in the front and 54-55 in the rear and that is stiff.

They are Toyo TS-1 Proxie tyres. I had a chance to test them in the rain 
tonight and thi grip is unbelievable, I had to really drop the clutch to get 
wheelspin...I cant wait to autox on them this summer. The car responds almost 
instantly to steering input but I need to ditch the stock sway bars....
