[s-cars] snow tires

[Ed Kellock]

I wondered about that since 225/50's look pretty perfect on  the 16x8's.

Jed, you might think about finding a set of the later S$ 16x7.5 6-spoke wheels for snows.

I had a set of 205/55 16 Hakkas briefly installed on my 5 spoke S4 wheels.
It was not a good fit...the wheel was too wide for the tires. The 16x8 wheel
really wants a 225/50 size tire, and in Vermont you probably want a narrower
tire (like the 205/55).
