Polk speakers are very good. After getting an amplifier, the sound quality is teriffic. Bass is good and front components are excellent.

Was it due to the tire change ? How is the difference after the tire change ? You had a TD experience with Stock tires. The Sectional Height looks more than enough to handle big potholes.

How much the tires and alloys cost ? how much did you get for the stock tires? What about the Stock rims?

I never exceeded 60KMPH on stock tires which i used for almost 100KM before upgrading.
The grip levels on Michelin PP's are excellent in wet and dry. No drifting while taking a sharp turn.
The sidewall height is almost 6mm more than stock tires. So better ride.

The wobbling effect looks because of alloys. I need to check with tire dealer.
