So it passed the moose test, even with those 245s on your stock wheels?

I've been on THREE wheels plenty of times in T1s, T2s, T3s, Delicas &
Hiaces, but that's par for the course cornering at all hard with tall
vehicles... it doesn't mean that you can't go a lot faster.

Good stiff dampers and low-profile tires can be beneficial in the
make or break department here!
