    As long as we're on the subject of the Vred's... Is there much difference in height verses the RSA 245/45 ?? Reason I ask was that my Garmin GPS was showing my speed about 1-2 MPH faster than the speedo during my trip to the rumble. If anything I was under the impression the Vred's are shorter which would make the speedo read faster than actual.

    I can just measure them but since I've never seem anyone mention correcting the tire size with the predator I thought I'd bring it up...

    hmmm....the V's are 1, or 2 mm (at most) shorter than the stock RSA's. Good question!

    275/40 would be 110 mm? x2 = 220 mm = 8.66 inches -> 28.66" dia.
    245/45 would be 110.25 mm? x2 = 220.5mm -> 28.68" dia.

    Is that right? 0.5 mm difference in total height?

    Dave, my title should read: SINO (Staff In Name Only). Ron gave me the title so as to put pressure on me to behave. I exercise little authority/knowledge of the site, other than to give Ryan random demerits and 10 day warnings for doing nothing wrong.

    I agree. DATA it is. Some Staff member, please add this to Dave's sig.

    Also, it is more of a social-learning club for me (those with knowledge of criminology should be able to recite the theory of social-learning).

    Oh I've always enjoyed acceleration... before the Charger, I was only fast in bed. Zero to hero in 30 seconds.

    Data Dave

    As spring approaches, I want to get my new Vred's too.

    Check it out though - nobody can find them for me here locally except one speedshop (where I bought my spacers) and HE WANTS $ 580 PER TIRE!!!

    What does a brutha have to do to get them for $ 170 each?

    Last I checked our dollars where about the same so this is just stupid.

    Q: Are there any members in Ogdensburg or upstate NY near Kingston that know of a dealership that woudl slap some on for me at a rasonable price? Help appreciated.
