tire fitment

[LL - NY]

A good friend of mine had them on his 85, but they were a Goodyear
All-Season, something like Aquatreads or the like, rather than a snow (which
likely means slightly smaller in diameter). I don't recall any rubbing
issues when riding in his car which was fairly often. They came with the car
when he bought it, and he couldn't wait to get rid of them, but there were
no notable problems.
