New shoes yesterday
I made it 15 months getting some mileage out of the original RFTs on 17" 292s. Now I made the jump to Michelin Super Sports on 19" BBS.
I knew RFTs were heavy but I didn't expect the 17" OE setup to be 20lbs heavier overall than the new 19" package. About 6lbs per front lighter and over 4lbs per rear. Happy! Attachment 602832 Attachment 602833 Attachment 602834

I had no idea how loud the RFTs were and how poor the car handled. I swear that even the bodily lean is reduced when making a residential 90 turn at 10 mph. ON ramps were amazing today! Now if I can just get the TPMS to reset. Living with Inactive alerts on dash. Sighhhhh. But I love the wheel/tire package.

Sorry I've taken so long to reply with some pics, but I was in Vegas since last Friday for my x9th birthday . My girlfriend gave me the Exotic Car racing- Ferrari experience, 5 laps at LVMS. But, Vegas got rained out on Friday so my Saturday class was overbooked with the Friday folk and I had to surrender my 458 Italia for the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 below.
Excuse the camera phone pics I just took today.

I am particularly interested in your comments going from 292 with RFT to 19s with non-RFTs. I have the 292s now and plan to go for 19s in the future. Nice, nice wheels!
