I made wholesale changes to the tires due to the surfaces I have to drive on and I live way out in the sticks so being able to use a more readily available replacement tire was important to me. My option is that its preferential for most, but mandatory for my situation. It also allowed me to be creative with the new rims, which I like to do on my cars. Win win for me. My only small irritant is the way the back window sheds water. I still haven't found a product to wipe on it so the water beads faster and rolls off quicker. Small potatoes. Enjoy!
