and there is a long list of other tire and wheel info, including the
looks like in the underhood fuse panel fuse 20 is for the spoiler system. easy way to check would be to disable the spoiler, take it on a straight stretch and see if *** is still there... BTW... nice post on the tire marks BTW...

Seannon, first thank you for the kind words, but copy and paste is easy. This link from Tire Rack is most informative.
FROM TIRE RACK: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tirete....jsp?techid=17
Scroll to the end of the Tire Match article I quoted, and there are a number of very informative articles on tires and wheels, including a calculator that will show actual speed vs speedometer reading should you decide to change tire sizes.
Also re the spoiler, check the owner's manual on raising and lowering it manually.
BTW-hope you can make it this Sunday. Looking forward to meeting you and Jenn.
