You could have read the documentation at the link as to how many folks
have turned what. The objective is to not spin them much, and DR's allow
you to use more throttle. It'll still spin.

Bob,

Strange he knows what the ET should be but can't find the tire size
and brand??

Really what I wanted to ask is in the passenger side grill there is a
light colored object in the picture on your web site, what is it?
Right close to that location there is a removable part of the
horizontal grill bar, about 4.5" long with a small lanyard on it, has
been there since '05. I've ask around a few places but haven't found
anyone that can identify its use.

can't say as I know, it appears "round" with a dark center like some
kind of port or plug. There are a couple connections on the rear also,
one on each side outboard of the backup lights. (See youtube link at 34
seconds for the rear and 1 min. 46 sec for the front, you can pause and
zoom ) I "heard" the rear ones were sample ports.
