    Just to throw this out there. A good upgrade is a lighter wheel. You can get brands like FN for around $700 and you will get that money back in the long run from gas savings. My FN countersteer type x weigh in at 19 lbs a peice (Stock alloys are around 29lbs) running E load range 285s on my 2nd gen I still get 16-18 mpg. On stock wheels and tires i only averaged 17-19mpg. And obviously the wheel can last you a lifetime. Good luck with your decision.
