    Sitting on 13`s

    I picked up brand new moto master aw's on rims for practically free so for the economy of free tires I dropped down to 13's for the winter. My stock Dunlops were shot and I was thinking of replacing them with a better handling summer tire so these will be my winter set.

    Oh and speedo reads 90 when I'm doing 75 now, so that can't be the cause of all our faulty speedos.Name:  DSC_0034.jpg

    How is the acceleration with the new gear ratio? My new thing in the juke is turn off the traction control and giver three gears aggressively on the snow covered roads. My ice pro tires grip enough to accelerate good but slip enough to quickly get past the turbo lag and let it breathe....what a blast

    Yes much easier to spin the tires now. Response has been quicker.
