Ok three unrelated questions:
1. I am going to be upgrading to 22's in the spring, and haven't finalized which wheel (leaning towards Redbourne Duke) and was looking at tire sizes, seems most people go to a 285 35 22 but I find this size to be almost an inch bigger in diameter, which obviously throws off the speedo but fills the wheel well just a bit more. Why aren't people using 285 30 22 which is just about identical to the original diameter (for s/c), is it just sidewall concerns?
2. Second question is what is the redline on the S/C model? There's no indication on the tach and I haven't pushed it past 5k thus far.
3. Lastly, anyone else's front suspension feel a little rough in the cold when first driving? Meaning it thuds a little more in front over bumps until everything is warmed up a bit. My front 'bushes' (for you English out there) were replaced at 7k miles due to a clunking and it rides great when its warm, or when it's cold, after I've been driving for a little while.
Short or long answers are all appreciated!!
