Okiesmrt - realize that you're declaring the smart unsafe. Again. Responses you'll get will tend to be sarcastic or antagonistic because you aren't saying that you feel safer in your smart with wider tires, you appear to be saying all smarts are unsafe with "the skinnies."

But you know this already, don't you?

Cruise Control is the spawn of satan. Very unsafe addition on any car. (sarcasm intended)

I've got 32k on one car and 16k on another with the stock skinnies. The triangle comes on all the time...........on my bumpy dirt road. I'm keeping my skinnies for now while I use the cars for commuters.

Your road conditions may vary.

You have 2 cars? You should swap tires some day for grins. The rears really soak up the bumps!

That's good. No sense in "endangering" you any further.

Based on this and several other recent threads I expect the weekend of 26-27 September to be nothing but reports of death and destruction along the Tail of the Dragon route - piles of smoking, wrecked smarts the whole 11 miles!
