Good luck, I hope the V12's work out for you.

I have 17s. I checked the tire pressure again and in fact the shop had put only about 30-32 PSI. I pumped the tires up to around 40 PSI and it feels much better in the city. Tomorrow I will try it on the freeway to see how it handles.

Oh, I just did an alignment, so I don't think thats an issue.

Thanks for the info. I hope it works out for you. Tires are like shoes, they have to feel right. Cheers,
