Military paid mine
.
PRK though painful as hell with the healing process .. they basically buff your eyeball with a electric metal toothbrush. Then laser correct your vision after that.
But un-like lasik its combat and jump certified .. ie if you take a bad impact or an explosion shock wave will not ruin your vision.
Ended up with 20/15 vision pretty sweet imo.

^^^
Walter Reed army hospital (lasik/prk ward)
Healing time is months with prk because they buff your entire cornea off. Lasik heals with in a matter of days(simply slice the top of your cornea off).
Prk vision is damn near the perfect right after you get off the operating table same for lasik.
They sit you up and ask you to read an eye chart across the room and BAM its clear as day. The colonel who did my surgery askd if i could read the clearest line of the exam chart. I just skipd to the very bottom line of it.
Pain level is extremely high for prk and long healing time but is more durable for rough activity (combat, air-borne jumps , water ops ect)
Lasik is extremely quick healing like a within a day its completely healed and your vision does not fluctuate like prk. But lasik is supposedly not as durable as prk because the flap incision they make in your eye can be knockd loose upon extreme impact.

Maybe they offer some type of warranty , but some how i think not since the procedure is pretty expensive and supposedly a one time thing.

What do you mean tucked? My car is lowered and its tucking tire because of that. But I didn't have to roll my fenders or anything. As long as you don't slam the thing to the ground, you will be fine. I had it lowered on S-Techs before and ran the 275/35/18 set up just fine, no fender roll or anything.
I also don't have my camber adjusted yet, so my rear wheels run a good amount of negative camber.
Mike,
One of the main reasons I run a square set up is so that I can rotate my tires front to rear. I have directional tires so in order to rotate them, I would have to dismount them from the wheels and have them remounted again. It's easier to just have the same size wheel and tire all around and be able to swap em out when one is getting worn.
