Only time I had a problem merging was when I had 4 tires stuffed into my car

What size tires were they, mounted? Sounds like 10 lb in a 5 lb bag.

They were the stock tires off the sport rims. I put 2 in the passenger seat and 2 in the back and I just barely got the hatch closed. The 2 in the passenger seat fell on me a couple of times when making right turns so I'm glad they weren't mounted, LOL.

BTW mounting tires with stiff sidewalls on this rims is a total PITA. They designed the rims with an abrupt lip, it was really hard to get the bead to pass over it, especially on the front rims. It took lubricant and 100 pounds of pressure. I'm just glad I wasn't the one doing the work, took 2 hours!

In a 370 you'll surely be going faster than surrounding traffic so who cares so long as you can see what's ahead!

Seriously though, I too found the blind spot on passenger side a bit freaky right at first but since I do a bit of track driving, I have my side mirrors set to the outside so that I don't really even have to turn my head at all. I don't find it to be a problem in the least.
