tires for a 4kq?

[Grant Lenahan]

I third this.  I got stuck in last winters one and only blizzard, driving 
to Vermont (to ski) with 205/50-15 D60A2s.

Hardly snow tires, but they surprised me in their lack of suckiness.  They 
are M&S rated, and have a fairly open tread block.  I'll also repeat, these 
were 205/50 tires on a 90q20v - great big, wide skis in effect.

Regrettably, at least 2 or 3 of these tires are out of round, and tire 
rack/dunlop have been unresponsive so far.
