Did you know that a 305-40-22 Pirelli Scorpion Zero weighs 86 pounds? I do, now that I had to load 4 of them into my truck at UPS last night. That's insane, especially when you add the weight of a 22" diameter 10 inch wide chunk of metal onto that...unsprung weight is the devil!

Nah...I just use proper lifting techniques. Braces keep your back from working, so it doesn't get any stronger...you can work it just like any other muscle if you do it properly.

Automobile did a test of a 2002 Expedition with 23" rims and with the stock 17" rims, acceleration was almost a second slower but the cornering improved slightly from .78 to .80

That weight adds up.

Bling bling is GHEY. Unless it's polished under the hood. Heavy *** chrome can suck my nuts. Leave that **** for the rappers.
