Want a sticky tire but want 20K+ miles out of it...is this possible if I don't get on it all the time (like that will happen)?
Also wouldn't going to a 19" rim/tire lower the front splitter? Already paranoid about that thing, not sure I would want it any lower. Thanks for responses.

The 19" with the RE71R rubber that I was getting was something like .1 inches taller in diameter overall in the front than OEM 20"'s or maybe about .05 inches higher at the splitter. Not really a big deal. The rears were off by a bit more, but we are talking small differences here... less than an inch overall change in height which translates into an even smaller difference in ride height.
