Because they are nearly alike? While I do know th edifference in a 172 and 135, I doubt many people on the road can tell the difference. Or care, for that matter.
That's true !!

Looking good!
BTW, thanks for the contact re. the tires. I ended up going with Pirelli 240 Sottozero's since the Michelins were sold out. I'm getting them installed at BMW Toronto and it's coming out to $1325 taxes/installation in.
