Awesome. I think I saw you in highland on Timp highway not far from my house when I was coming back from Home Depot. Do you live down here?
Yeah. We took it on its first run down to grab some breakfast yesterday. Live within a few blocks of “Country Corner”.

Interesting results from this change -

I expected the wife to complain about it not handling as well. She likes it better than before; says the steering is more precise and easier to manage.
I expected some vibration or bounce because I didn’t balance or use any beads. She took it up to 65mph and it was smoother than before.

The radials are definitely quieter- they have a higher pitched sound though. The TSLs were always out of round when cold, but ok when warmed up.

Off road differences will be interesting. The TSLs always gave the impression of being very “sticky”. They were not good in sand at all.
