285/70R17 fit no problem. I put some on today and look good with the steelies. Cooper AT3 4S. Wow and what a difference over the crappy factory Generals. Had them rebalanced twice but still had a nasty natural frequency type vibration. Cabin vibration was terrible with those things. I...
Dang. I wish I could get 21 MPG. My Black Diamond gets 18.2-18.4 MPG no matter if I drive on the highway or the back roads. I love the ride and it's a joy to drive, but a gas saver it is not. It's a 2.3l manual. Sport mode has more power than I'll ever need. It's hard to drive it easy it...

Hey that looks just like mine except I have the stock tires still. Here in NC, have no problem with power. Put it in Sport mode and it's has more power than I know what to do with. I also have the 2.3L, manual. Next to my 97 M3, this is the most fun vehicle I've ever driven. After a little...
I also have the manual. I agree with @Portapot. Itās not exactly quick off the line in 1st gear. 1st is pretty slow. Once you get to 3rd, it takes off. On the highway, Iād say in 6th gear itās near 2k. 6th gear is a real dog though. On any type of incline it seems to lack power. It...
Thanks John and the team at Stephens Auto. Picked up our Black Diamond yesterday. Had a great drive through the WV mountains on the way home to NC. Will post more with some pics later.
