I didn't notice any loss in miles per gallon, but I've always had around 17-19MPG avg (NYC traffic sucks).
You'd probably notice it more if you have nice long cruises without traffic on a regular basis. |

Don't worry about the extra fuel cost. The difference between what you were getting and what you might be getting now is nothing compared to the vehicle's depreciation you're incurring.

depreciation is a given factor that i knew going in at least fuel consumption in a non race track environment is a variable factor that I can somewhat manage... may be i should get a prius as daily.. but yes youre right..it is a 86 chassis .. these things are meant to be enjoyed. gotta pay to play

My apartment has a downhill with a speed bump before going into the parking, that and other areas is making me consider Air lift suspension with 245's as they are the same as stock and stock can fit 245.
Edit: may be irrelevant to thread so no reply needed lol. Edit: i found out about air cups and will be getting them because I didn't care about slamming the car anyway Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Last edited by nima314; 11-07-2016 at 05:42 PM. |

you can have the flush meaty look with a 245/40 if you have the right offset. also a good 245 will have better traction than a shit 265. its not all about the raw width when it comes to this topic. Your alignment also has a good amount to do with it |

The narrower ones don't seem to have the same issue. Love them though as great street and track combo tire.

Was just warning you that if you had shuddering that seemed like a buckled wheel to check. The guy balancing should be able to tell if any issues so ask him to tell you if tires arent runnng true. I've had on my 86 Michelin Pilot Sport Nitto Invo Nitto NT01 Bridgestone RE003 Currently running Nitto Invo 255/35/18 on my 9" track wheels and Bridgestone RE003 265/35/18 on my 9.5" show/street wheels.
