I had planned on doing it during my spring break but my last part I needed wasn't here in time. So I am just going to do it during my summer vacation, probably like the second or third week of June.
the reason im done with the 24s is primarily because i want to really start taking trips across country.
I drove to Indiana last year with the 24s.. wasnt TOO bad. but i was always scared if i hit a big pothole or curbed it in an area im not familiar with that i dont have an extra 24 inch rim and tire laying around.
so because of fuel economy, the better ride and the above reason... im just deciding to go back to 20s.
Im also pretty sure im going to get rid of my bed cover and get like a bed cap... so i can go to death valley for a weekend for star photography and sleep in the back on my bed rug
besides.. once you have 24s for over a year.. the curb rash and the thought of having to buy new 24 inch tires just doesn't make having them so appealing anymore
i will miss my baby's though.. lol

Doc, I too had 24" wheels and tires. A couple of the wheels were peeling adn the tires were some cheap ones. Ran into a mechanic at a quest auto place and traded him straight up for his 20's...Some think I'm crazy but the worry is gone and the ride is smoother...
