Default Let's LOSE the "Correct Rear Tire Size" stickie

I know the stickie was well-intentioned, but since the best tires available for the AP1 aren't available in 245/45-16 (indeed hardly *any* make/model tire is), the only purpose it serves now is to confuse and frustrate AP1 owners in need of tires. The case for a *need* for 245s was, I think, tremendously overstated anyway.

Time for the stickie to go, IMHO.

Thanks for listening...

You are correct. But it does have a lot of hits.
