Sounds like you're about tapped out. I hate having a handful of projects I want to get on top of but can only afford to hit one at a time.

Is this a typo or did the Cop do you a favor or does one of us not know how a plus tire will affect speedo? ...and it could be me but...

If you went plus sized tires and you thought you were doing 70 I am thinking the cop should have got you for 75 or if you thought it was 65 then he would have got you at 70.

Not sure if anyone did me a favor, but yeah looking into it you'd be right. I guess my speedo is just off, ive driven past the roadsite radar things too and it showed me doing 5 under what the speedo said.
