    Thanks dude. I know it isn't a big difference but I'm a little hung up on the aesthetics even if I think the smaller width is actually functionally better for me.

    I got a vape here somewhere. Was my first experience with it. First time one drag I was like ehh... Took another long one. Well this is disappointing. 10 minutes later holy shit :rofl:

    Hey thanks. I think I'm fine with the smaller size, I don't know if I could tell the difference by eye, and I know that the narrower 245 has some benefits I kinda prefer. But it's really nice to have the comp. Pretty sure in a month I'll still be happy where I'm at. I would like to get alloy wheels at some point, maybe at that point I'll revisit the whole thing.

    I overthink and get analysis paralysis. It's a really dumb struggle over minor details because I tend to want to optimize way beyond what matters.

    Yeah tell me about it. I still smoke because I actually enjoy the taste and feel and I'm old school, but I can't deny how nice the vape is ONCE YOU LEARN HOW TO TAKE JUST A LITTLE BIT lololol...

    It is cool to be able to walk into a store and have a variety of strains and strengths though.

    Mark, I want to say that even when she's not cleaned up, that's a good looking and very tasteful truck. I like those discreet rails/steps, and the wheels are a nice choice. :cheers:

    Only issue I had going from 245's to 265's is dropped to about 20-21 mpg from 24-26 depending on outside temp. Oh well.

    The '22 manual I had was the worst offender. Although that was mostly me winding it up before shifting :anonymous:

    You should see me driving semis at work. I use every single gear and constantly shifting. Love floating gears. :anonymous:

    That drop is one reason I went narrow lol. Good to hear, but sorry to hear it?

    I'm struggling with MPG right now with mostly shortish stoplight commute and not many trips outside town, plus winter blend.

    I just hated the skinny look. Honestly I wasn't going to replace the tires since my truck is a lease (I trade trucks so often it only makes sense) but after one drive in the snow I knew the factory tires were not going to cut it. I got the factory set in my shed for turn in time :laugh:

    Ehhh maybe. Today's weed is much more potent. Well, the legal stuff anyways. Not to mention the varieties. State over from me legalized recreational and holy Moses at the selection the dispensary has. The downside is since I work in that state the parking lot smells like a constant Woodstock '69.

    Oh I agree...contemporary weed is WAY more potent. In my day <gestures with cane> the dangerous thing was there was all manner of pharmaceuticals in the ecosystem.

    Hell, I don't even think a lot of the hard drugs of the 70's and 80's era are even around anymore. We were just talking about this at work.

    With the rise of prescription pain meds that were given out like candy...

    Meanwhile if I take one damn Tylenol I get constipated :rofl:
