Probably not, but still. I think my car handles well, but the ride is pretty tough, and that's with a drop and only 18's

i wouldnt think that would affect ride much though, unless its to the extreme.



i had to laugh, a jeep srt8 came into body shop (having had a side collision) and it had 1 tire that much have been 20mm too small at least on one wheel. its like WTF, you have money for a 40,000 truck; and enough left over for 11mpg on a GOOD day; why not for 1 more matching tire?

Wow. That is just sad. Some people lack so much common sense it's scary. He doesn't deserve that Jeep.

I still don't like it. And trophies don't mean sh*t to me....I have seen some hideous vehicles at car shows with rows of trophies. What else is done to the car? If you are getting trophies just because you threw a set of 20's on your car then don't expect me to be impressed.
