New shoes

I got some new tires a couple days ago, 285/60R18 Cooper Zeon LTZs. The factory Michelin Primacy XCs just weren't cutting it anymore. I gotta say, these tires are amazing. Just drove down the highway during some pretty heavy rain and they grip like it was a hot sunny summer day. They grip the road very well but they are a little noisy. I can't wait to see how the handle the snow and ice this winter.

Those are 1/2" shorter than stock. My next size is going to be a 285/65/18 which will be about 1/2" taller than stock (and 1/2" wider) so then my speedo will be accurate. With stock 275/65/18 my gps says 58 when the speedo reads 60. I'm thinking about the Coopers also.

Not worried at all about being just a tad shorter than stock. The performance makes up for it.
