[200q20v] winter wheels

[Tom Donohue]

Chris...I'm running Goodrich 205/60SR15 T/A WR studded snows all around on my
91 200q20v Avant up here in Western MA...we've had a couple of snows already
(more coming Wed) and I get plenty of bite.  Have been running studded snows
for the past 5 winters, first 195/65s on the 89 200q avant and now the above.
I run to Phila. about once a month between October and May, so usually put in
about 4 or 5 such runs a year on the studs.  Never had a problem other than
blowing a tire on the NJ Turnpike a couple of winters ago...don't know whether
it was stud-related or not.  HTH.  Tom
