[s-cars] tire recommendation needed

[Lee Levitt]

I had the FZ4s on my S6 when I bought it. I thought they were pretty
mediocre and couldn't wait to get them off the car. Lousy in snow, lousy on
dry roads.

If you live where it snows, buy yourself a set of Nokia RSis  or WRs and
really enjoy the winter!
