[s-cars] Wheel/tire size question (formerly "another tire question")

[chris chambers]

David,

I live in Michigan and WONT go with bigger than the stock 16 inch
wheels, leaves jus too little sidewall to help prevent wheel damage
(these are daily drivers not track cars...not yet atleast). Yes I do
live in the land of the potholes! Also becasue I want the narrowest
wheel possible for the snows (which requires a 15 in wheel) I have also
chosen not to go with a brake caliper upgrade. The reason is that after
doing the caliper upgrade you must run 16 in or bigger wheels, the 15
in steel snow wheels wouldn't fit.

My setup is 15 in steel wheels with the snows, 16 inch ATS Planets on
the Silver S4 and 16 inch Borbet's on the black S4. Now do I stay with
teh blizzaks or go to the hakkas? hmmm :-)

HTH
Chris
