Got the first oil change of the season done, and decided to go with 15w40 due to th 396bb in it and what I've been reading up on.

PLUS I had to have my tires replaced. They were cracking between the treads pretty bad. Found out that they were made in 1999, by reading the DOT date in them. I looked all over for a sporty/performance tire and I ended up with one option. Everything else was discontinued or not available. I was able to find endless options for a regular touring tire or off-road tire in 265/70/16, but not what I wanted.

These are 245/75/16. Not much difference in size, but look less like balloons on the rims since they are a tad narrower.
