    At least I’m not driving to Houston. The average pace from the Oklahoma border to Houston is about 95mph.

    Everyone in Kansas and Nebraska drive so slow. :rofl:

    I haven't gone 80 in a long time, about 72 is my version of a big hurry and even that is the exception not the rule.

    Check the inside of your wheels for ice build up. Could just need chipped out and you are all good

    It’s been two warm for ice to stay. Plus I saw the tech putting the new tires on the balance machine this morning.

    I agree, they probably didn’t do a true road force balance.

    Had a guy at work order one of these, so I ordered an extra to sell. I’m really impressed with the craftsmanship for the price point!

    Do 95 up here and they’ll put you on the evening news. There’s a high probability of getting a ticket going 81 and above. Highest post limit on the interstate is 70.

    Good morning everyone :hattip:
