Most use the grub screw..

Speaking from experience trying no grub ..

Have 4 AE cars and never had a dnf due to not using the grub screw. I feel it causes extra bind in the CVA. CA the snap ring and your good.

Not sure that is true. But they are thicker for sure and use more axle

Thanks.

dont ever base your decision on this. the simple fact is that either the tires or the foams will break down quick enough, so you would be replacing them anyway. Plus when you sell your old car, having alot of tires included makes it more attractive to potential buyers. to them, they are getting more value
