I know, but it's pretty fun floating around on the highway! Btw - I hefted one of the 17s with a tire on it (all of 'em, actually), and there really not that heavy at all. In fact, I'd be willing to guess that they're lighter than the 16s + snow tires that I have now. The 16s are of the 9-5 10-spoke variety, with swanky Michelin snow treads. If only I can find a place up here to inspect this thing! It came straight from Palm Beach, tint and all. Seems that in FL, it's perfectly safe to tint a window dark enough to hide a couple of gunmen, but up here, it's a different story.... > That said, I suspect that much of the squirm you're feeling is also > the "snow" tire design.
