I know people that can put laps on fast cars, in a fucking shoe box. Please tell me that you actually track yours, and you are somewhat good with it. That would be even more hilarious but at least that way, you might get some more use out of it? Otherwise, you might as well be a new balance wearing 70 year old Corvette owner, with your chest puffed out even further, with a small dick. It's quite funny coming up on some tool bags in their "performance vehicles" who haven't a clue how to wheel the thing. One of my favorite past times is catching that tool on an exit ramp in my truck and scaring the living shit out of them.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got cut off in the Prelude the other day coming up to a sweeping onramp by a Grandpa in a C8 Vette. 2 lanes open by he had to get in front of me I guess. So then he takes the corner and hits the brakes I stayed into it switched lanes and smoked him in the corner. 5 min later he blows by me. Total retard.

Deephaven Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 It is the size of the wheel but the width and profile of the tire. Anything in the 30's is tough although a super wide tire in a 35 can ride ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm interested.... I don't deem what's appropriate... but here anything less than a 50/55 is awful. I have 40's on one car that gets limited road time and it can be unsettling at times on our shit roads but that car is also lowered and has big sways and lot's of urethane bushings. Frankly, I like a little more sidewall and 'firm' suspension on a daily driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer more rubber on the sidewalls, but you do you. On 9/9/2022 at 9:43 AM, Deephaven said: I stated clearly comparing it stock. Once I dropped it and firmed up the suspension, added Wilwoods, and all the go fast goodies it was a different story. Longer wheelbase and more mass made up the difference, but stock the brakes and suspension were complete horseshit in comparison. I don't understand why GM thinks everyone needs 6" of clearance above the tires for the wheel wells. Dropping those beasts a good 4-6" makes a monstrous difference. I can barely fit a pack of smokes between my tire and the wheel opening on the non daily long roof. The Tahoe, a king can of beer even though it's lowered from the factory.

I don't tow much weight 7'x14' landscape trailer with a 1400lb zero turn on it, that's about a total of 3600lbs or a clamshell sled trailer with 2 sleds which is prolly 2400lbs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJM offset links for the larger PPV sway bar. This is without the air ride, just coils. edit: also full Spohn setup in the back... which made a big difference. https://www.spohn.net/shop/2000-2006-GM-SUV-Suburban-Tahoe-Yukon-Avalanche-Escalade-Hummer-H2/ or https://www.spohn.net/shop/2007-2011-GM-SUV/ depending upon the year. nothing for '15 and up because of vehicle stability control...

They're stiff a/f so with 265/60/17's I doubt I'll be changing anything for dd duty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
