Cool Transformed handling

After installing the lowering kit,Koni's,Hotchkis bars my 2000 xp needed tires. I decided to get 20 inch Centerline wheels and mounted Toyo proxy s/t's to them. I chose 305/50/20. Well,all I can tell you is it is absolutely incredible now as far as handling/steering response and also comfort. I was concerned that the 50 series tire would give a little "harshness" to ride comfort but it is at least as comfortable as stock. I took some short /wide and slow/fast corners and was "tossing" the xp side to side to try and upset the chassis------NO DICE,couldn't do it. It now has NO roll and flat cornering. I really didn't think it could be done but it has been accomplished! Steering response is quick with no lag time which was the case with the Goodyears. I will not run these in the winter though. I feel blessed.
