Tire science and more...

[Ed Kellock]

Either 225/50-16 or 215/55-16 are both only 1% different in diameter than
stock so the space saver spare should be fine either way.  I have also put
full size tire/wheel in the spare tire well with no problem.

Congrats on the new shoes!

Thank you Bob and Tony, for the quick response. I am very willing to buy a
fifth wheel to match the four new ones but hesitated because I and the
installer didn't think it would fit in the well. If it would, then I will
order another wheel and tire. 

BTW, I am ecstatic over the new setup. I cannot believe how much better the
car drives. It's true I've only gone about ten miles but to me, even in that
short time, the difference is amazing. I have Michelin Exaltos on and so far
they are very quiet. That's what I was looking for so I am pleased. Since I
don't do that "spirited" driving that you guys love, I am happy with quiet
and smooth. I also think I'm going to just keep these tires as all seasons.
I'm too old to be dragging summer or winter wheels out of the garage :-)

On my way home I stopped at an audio place my Godson (Lexus tech)
recommended. I am happy to report that I've run into lots of service people
with whom I am impressed lately  - this guy was exception. The aftermarket
receiver in the car 'receives' one station. He's gonna take care of that.
Didn't try to sell me a new one and he will order me a new antenna that
unscrews since the one I have is somehow permanent. Anyway it feels good to
be moving forward with the new baby. 

That's all the news that's fit to print.
