Well, these crowns have massively improved the ride of my 75, so much so that I wouldn't have the Meteors back if you offered me free fuel for a year.

And the Crowns look smarter, but that is purely personal opinion :xmas-smiley-024:

Well, all I can say is that I find it quite amazing how many people said the wished, and would rather have Unions instead of their Meteors but when I offered to swap my perfectly good Unions with good Continentals the thread went dead...???

So although a lot of people talk the talk, they rather stay sitting than walk....lol. :D

It just leaves me very skeptical....

the 17's handle better and feel crisper as do the 18 inch hairpin on my estate...
