Really so long as you're happy.

Some of the people who have asked me about it were paying $120+ per month as part of an outrageous cable package while only streaming from 2 devices at most, and neither supported 4k. They were able to knock $80 off of their cable bill by going to a package with the same channels, but only Internet they needed.

What's wrong with the type of tires that are on there currently?

The new rims are slightly wider (.5 inch). They can run The same size fine, but can also safely handle a slightly wider tire. The Yokohama A048 that come standard are a "streetable track and competition" tire. They are super sticky. I'm thinking I might want something a little less sticky. I'm thinking:

205/45-16 front
235/45-17 rear

Stock is
195/50-16 front
225/45-17 rear

Then there is the issue of who makes what size. Yokohama doesn't make the A048 in a 205 in 16" . I might go with the Toyo Proxes R1R.

Like I said, still have some homework. I still have plenty of tread on the yokahamas, so no hurry.

Oh interesting, didn't realize the diameters were staggered front to back as well as the tire widths.

I see zippers/buttons on those shorts. That mistake cost me $500 once.

Yep. And the tires are directional. There is no rotating tires.
