I've given up tobacco for Lent. Even though I'm not catholic

Is that allowed?

Speaking as a raised Catholic and now atheist, a good priest shouldn't be throwing stones at a believer of some sort wanting to give something up for a religious period.

17" to 18" gives about a .1 second increase on 0-60, a 2 ft. shorter braking distance, 1 MPG difference, and .04g on the skidpad (driven by tire substance). The economy is interesting, I have no explanation. The skidpad shows variation of plus/minus .01g for sizing, .03g comes from W rated over V rated. I see no reason for that difference.

My current tires are Yokohama AS530 215/55R17 94V.

W is rated for another 19 MPH top speed (149 versus 168, both speeds I'm not sure this car can attain). W is softer, giving better skidpad figures, but at a cost of longevity of the tire.

I'm not sure I would ever see the difference in street driving between .86 and .89g, using guess numbers.
