It does ride better. Wasn't really expecting much but it is noticeable. I'm really hoping these will give me a bit better gas mileage too. They are lighter and I have regular street tread now instead of 4x4 tread. I thought they looked odd at first but the more I look at it the more I like them. These rims are actually in a lot better shape than the vibe's factory rims and just need cleaned up.star_deceiver wrote:15 inch tires... you probably have the smoothest riding Vibe here!
