Winter is finally almost done in Northern British Columbia . Put six months insurance on car and went for a couple of drives last week . Hit a bit of a milestone as I watched odometer roll over 60,000 miles . I have owned car now for 20 years and had 44,000 on it when I first bought . All ran good for first drives of year and now time for more updates.
Dropped car at mechanics for new suspension , brakes , bearings , bushings and front end parts . Will not get to drive again until May 19 because of work , three week shifts out off town . Should make a huge difference with all new parts .
Next step wondering about updating to 17 inch rims and tires . I have put one set of tires on car since I purchased but do not remember what year. In reading other posts as of late about age of tires and problems thought might just as well play it safe and update to larger tires and rims . I did find some BF Goodrich in 15 inch same as what I have but thinking the larger may get me a little better handling to go along with other upgrades as of late.
Any good or bad stories about going to 17 inch over the old 15 inch ?
Thanks to all and happy crusin
