Re: wheels/tyres

Well, almost...

Technically speaking, this isn't a plus-one setup -- that would be going to a 
205/40-17 or the equivalent -- and IMHO, a 225/50 tire on a 7" rim is 
marginal at best.  Frankly, I'm not surprised you weren't pleased with the 
results.  I learned a good lesson about putting wide tires on narrow rims 
when I ran 215/60-14 BFGs on my 5k's OEM 6x14 wheels ... nice but also not 
quite right.

As for my hibernation, I'm rather looking forward to it.  I haven't actually 
had more than a weekend's vacation in almost three years and in addition to 
getting caught up on my chores around the house, there're some trout up near 
the Glen Canyon damn that miss me...  :^)
