The Prius tires I inherited were mounted on the Corvair rims yesterday. The rolling resistance had dropped according to the amperage used while driving 40 mph on flat tar. Prior to the low rolling resistance tires, the E-meter read 100 amps used to go 40 mph whereas now the meter reads about 80-85 amps for the same speed in 2nd gear. I am still looking for a source that can do a proper 4 wheel alignment on the car.
The T-145s are slowly waking up. Resting voltage is now up to 12.9. That is up from 12.7-12.8 a couple of weeks ago. The car is definitely snappier and a whole lot of fun to drive. I am hoping to finally weigh the car next week. I'll post the result.

Good to hear that the new t-145's are waking up... That was a big difference in the Amps needed with the new tires... If you cannot find a source for the tire alignment on your car, let me know and I have some written instructions you could give a alignment shop if needed.
