If you change the tires, wheels, brakes, lower the car, etc, what you are doing is raising the car's limits. Pushing them is a risk on public roads regardless of how high they are or how they got there.
I completely disagree with lowering the tire pressures for road driving.
Just cruise casually ? I don't think so. There is a very wide range of driving between cruising and pushing the limits, and I think that most of us know the difference between prudent limits and performance limits.
We've not met Diane, but I will add to everyone else's statements and say that I am very glad that you are OK.
Very well said JR, very well said! Thank you .... remember - all of us, even prudent drivers have "fluke" accidents.
Judge not .....
