I took quick note of your comment on the Federal 595 tires. 205/60x14 may be even tougher to find good rubber than 185/70x13. That is why I was looking at the 595. I just looked at them a bit deeper and discovered that they move from a performance UTQG rating (240) to that of a highway tire (460) as soon as you move to any 60 series size. DANG I hate that!
For me that will mean finding a way to 15" rims as soon as I can.

What are good options in 4x110? I like the look of the Rota Shakotan wheels (copy of Hayashi Street). I'd like to keep the weight down though. I think the stock "+" wheels are like 13 lbs or something. My Enkei RPF-1 wheels for my Civic are < 10 lbs. There's not much out there for 4x110 though.

Well at least I know something is wrong now. The steering and handling has been quickly degrading. Interestingly enough I still have about 1/4" of play in the steering when the car is at rest. However if the car is moving at all the play increases dramatically 2-3" in each direction. Absolutely numb and the steering slops all over the place. There's a vibration coming from the front end. Still have not had time to look at it.
