Ohhhhhh, so smooth. It's silly I know, but I always feel happy with new tires on the car, like it's Christmas and I'm 8 or something.

I can see your smile from here. Glad you got a set that works finally! Enjoy.

Yesterday ran the car up over 135 (I don't drive over 149 since that's the MT's DNE speed). like it is on rails. Had one of my employees with me. He said nothing. Not sure he liked it.

You didn't tell him that you have two extra doors to use as air brakes?

Actually that's a great idea! Like "deploy spoilers" and you can down shift to "deploy thrust reversers!" Maybe I should have just said "if it looks like we're going to crash, bail out!"

Air stabilizers to keep the car from flipping out. Pair a shute fer the ones in the back.

POOR MEMORY UPDATE:

While we were involved in that whole test and fit series I got under the car and measured all the clearances and using the 20 x 11 PK wheels on the car right now I should have plenty of room for at least 315s on the back with no spacers, work on the well shrouds, or anything else. Can't get any flares for the car but I think even then it should look ok and "near" stock. But that's at least 3000 miles away (or better be if my wife is not to skin me)
