Fresh Powder Coat and Tires

I got my 135 second hand a few months back. The wheels were tired and the tires low budget. I finally got the time to address these things last week

Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 Fits great, no problems. Only have about 50 miles on them but it feels very firm, in a good way. I just need to get used to the new "sound" of them.

Also, if you are in the Nashville TN area I HIGHLY recommend Rod's Wheels in Goodletsville. They treated me great AND did a really nice job on the rims and mounting the tires. $175 a corner

What do you mean the new sound of your tires?

Just the rolling/road noise, how it reacts to little bumps and joints in the road
