I've gotten bitten by the Daystar/tires and rims bug...and it's something I can't remedy without buying them. I was going to do the power mirrors but they look like a pain to install...and labor to get them done would probably be a small fortune. Even though it would be a great help since I always have to pull them both in to squeeze into my apt garage.

I've got 285/70/17's and the daystar on mine and didn't much of a difference in gas mileage at all.

Post pics when you get it done.
Good luck

Marty

Haha, yeah I do tend to over analyze this stuff. I'm going to wait till June to throw tires, rims and the leveler on b/c I don't have the cash to do all of that now. I wanted to plan it though, so I started saving for it, if in fact it was a good idea. I just thought that it would murder my gas mileage though and didn't want to spend 3 grand to lose even more money at the pump. Thanks though!
