Tire/ Wheel Issues

Thanks, that's why I'm asking.

As for the GB, the prices Taka is able to
get are awesome, but for the moment, Nokians
are a little rich for my blood. If you can 
swing 'em, and you want them (yup, they are
clearly the best) you can't beat the GB prices.
I just can't really do the first part.

Won't that tire diameter difference create a problem with Quattro?  Try
looking for similarly worn snows at tire dealership used tire racks or buy
four new snows.  There's a Nokian group buy you still might be able to get
in on if you contact Taka Mizutani:   t44tqtro at gmail.com
