I put my new 215/45/17" tires on today. With my Pirelli's I was 43.5 lbs per corner. Now I am at 37.5. It is amazing how I went for 39 MPG to 44 that easily. I would have never guessed that would make such a difference. I was talking to Bjorn (DocVijay) on the phone last week, and he recommended them. He said I wouldn't be sorry. He was right! I can actually feel the difference in the gas pedal. The car rolls easier. We are only talking 24 lbs of unsprung weight total. These are very sensitve little cars. They ride better than the Pirelli's too! If anyone is looking to replace or get 17's, you cannot go wrong with the Exclaim.
