Don't see a change for me. But I kept the total weight of the tire and wheel almost the same as the OEM set-up.

With OEM tires + wheels and the roof basket I'd get 23ish on the freeway.

With the aftermarket tires + wheels and the roof basket same 23ish on the freeway.

Speed was about 72mph and using cruise control on the flat, straight freeways of Florida.

Nice look. I am thinking of doing the same size and tire combo but have not decided on the wheels yet. How did this combo change the ride? Is corning much more wobbly? What about the road noise from the tires? Much more over the OEMs? I assume you have no rubbing with the size you went.

Not sure if this was for me since I posted a picture but the ride may have gotten a bit better as in "softer" with all that sidewall compared to the OEM 20" wheels. No wobble and minimal road noise with the Copper tires. No rubbing.

After some time with the look I'm thinking I should have gone with 18" wheels instead of 17".

Looks awesome. What wheels and tires are those?

Thanks.
