Tires. Right. Easiest way to "mod" the engine speed. Not sure how long I'd have to run larger wheels to save enough gas to pay for the set of wheels. Off the top of my head, I'd say "too long," but some quick calculations suggest the wheels might pay for themselves in 30k to 50k miles if they improved mileage by 2 MPG. Sounds like a stretch to me.
