It's more the 40, 35, etc series, the super low stuff, that was the 'buyers
remorse' that my old tire place used to talk about... they go for some
'look' (which personally I hate, but hey, each his own) 18" wheels with 30
series rubber bands over them and it rides like crap. Bang! Bang! over every
pothole.

I've got 215/65's, and yeah, those are big! but they're great. Ride is good
and handles fine.

Lowering plates is the right way, that's probably why you are happy with it.
Still decent sidewall with 60 series.

Go to a large Advance auto or Napa, they often have boxes of different

Yup. And I have a little desktop lathe at work perfect for this. I did see
that Industrial Metal SUpply stocks oilite sintered bronze, so worst case I
make my own. Least of my worries at this point!

"There are    0    stores within 50 miles". I do have NAPA. Looks like a
Least Coast chain.
