Subject:I installed 215-85-16 tires on my syncro.

I have a modified syncro with Ronal R'9 rims with a new set of aggressive All
Terrain 215-85-16 siped tires. They are 30'' in diameter. The front fenders
in front of the tire and in back of the tire had be shaved. The rear control
arms and the rear part of the rear fender also. What an awesome look the this
synro has. The factory set up is just too small looking and out of place. It
reminds me of the (you know who's) in LA with there tiny eeny weeny rims on
there hydraulic bouncing mini trucks and sedans.
 Freeway speed at 4000 rpm is now 83 mph, and 3500 rpm is 72 mph. I love it.
 See ya, Michael
