Default blown 2v going down from 410's to 373's anyone?

I'm thinking about going to go down (no homo you jerks), this is my DD and I think maybe I can save a little on my tire bill and gas concumption lol. seiously man I get like 12 IF THAT around town, and yes it sucked bad like that before installing my procharger. I like the pull with the 410's alot, I bought my car with them installed, but im curious if anyone has gone down to 373's or even 355's. I might keep the 410's but I just want to hear from those that have experienced this. traction is awful on street tires, maybe ill run drag radials from now on I know you gotta pay to play... discuss fellas, oh and did your mpg increse?

From what I have heard you would be better off going down a gear or two. I am sure someone will chime in though.

I went from 4.10 to 3.55 and it was honestly the best decision I had made in awhile... (unfortunately it didn't have a lot of competition). Every time I drive the car, I think, "man I'm so damn glad I did this".

The 5.4... plus I wanted to make sure if I was doing the gear swap that it would be worth my time. 4.10 to 3.55 was a huge change. And it was nice to make it through an intersection and not be in 3rd gear already.
