[s-cars] NAC: all season tire deals?

[Taka Mizutani]

Matt-
Call Chris Semple at Force 5 Auto- he's gotten me Nokians for the past three
times I've needed them- I've run two group buys through him and Chris has
been
very good to deal with.

He's beat the dealer in the D.C. area by a ton, the only one cheaper might
have been
Greg Galinsky, but he's in Wisconsin (shipping goes up a lot for those of us
in the
Northeast).

Nokian WRs are the way to go if you want an all-season up in Maine.

Is 195/60R15 the "normal" stock size for the car?
