I haven't had a chance to open it up as the shop is only a few miles from work. I did notice though at moderate acceleration the RPM wound out a little quicker. Braking I didn't pay much attention. I'll take note on the drive home.

Also if you're 225/50 now the diameter is less, so quicker to wind up
