[V8] tire size

[Andrew Schlueter]

I ran a set of factory 17" avus and Michelin pilot sports, man that was one heavy wheel combo. I would say 40lbs at each corner. The same time I ran those wheels, I ran that abt chip with little gain. No longer have the chip and wheels. The 16" bbs modas are not too heavy, but are heavier than stock, but not nearly as heavy as the avus wheels.

This has been my primary focus for a few years now.  Once you start
focusing on it, it's amazing how easily you can feel the difference.
