It is more like modding the spinning part of a name brand lathe. The fundamental is simple, but get it wrong and your arm, and mortgage payment get sucked into it!

I mean, I got to do that... Though I wasn't the one who made the mistake...
Just hurts more.

That's ok, they are all delicious. They make everything in house. The weisswurst is pure heaven.

I have some high temp wax crayons, could rivet an ID plate and mark them with that

Is it just me, or do the Michellin A/S 4s even if they are grippier, feel like they have slowed my car down.

Being too sticky is a thing.

Don't get me wrong, they handle great, braking distance is shorter, greatly reduced road noise, and my MPG has seen an increase. I thought maybe it was my car dealing with the cold temperatures and what not, but it definitely takes it a little extra to develop speed.

Weight vs old tires?

Ah, found it. Makes sense. The 225/45R/17s I got are about 2.5 lbs heavier. But then again, I got 25mm and 30mm spacers between the front and rear of the car with the old tires. I took them off with the new tires. The wheels are also lighter than OEM.

Rotational inertia increases proportional to the square of radius. Wheel weight has a lot less effect than tire weight since the tires average radius from center is much larger than that of the wheel. Additionally, a wheel could be lighter, but it could still have a greater rotational inertia depending on where it's mass is located.

lol I figured you would come in here and word it more eloquently. I started typing out a response but looked like a page out of a coloring book.

At the meeting, had a discussion about food and each country's famous food. Example: Japan = Sushi. Coworker said "Belgium = Chocolate". I didn't think Belgium = Chocolate. I thought Belgium = waffles.

Both are equally correct.
