I have them on my M37 and WM300. I also have
Michelin 11X16s on both of them. I can cruise
at 55+ very easily as long as the road is not
too steep, but power is definitely sacrificed.
I HAVE to start out in first gear. But, it is all
worth it to me as I can keep up with traffic,
and the poor flatheads aren't over revving.
The 251 with its screaming 120 horsepower DOES
make a difference over the 230. I can live with
it. That is what gears are for.
