Default Doh, took off the 19"s today, to be replaced with my winter tires for my insuing trip to

Western NY and Canada for the next ~3 weeks or so. My spine is much happier now, can't believe how much 17"s actually absorb the road ;-) Feel's like I'm driving on sponges! Also, I have the Dunlop Winter Sport M2s, and believe it or not they hold the road better than my Toyos. Scary, huh? The only thing is, they're a wee bit scary before they get warmed up. First time I've had snow tires, and just to test the 'grip', kind of yanked the wheel and had the rear end let loose very violently :-) On a good side, they don't do that when theyre warm. (Could be fun, though)

meaty + heavy 17's....ughhh, I hope those 19's were at least 10 lbs lighter overall.

Default They aren't but considering the added benefit, they don't add but maybe 1lb extra weight overall.

Nice wheels Eric, hmmm, were you able to get that one fixed and how did they do?
