[s-cars] tire opinions

[Taka Mizutani]

The 615s definitely run wide- the 205/50R15 I run on the Miata are not that
much narrower than
the 235/45R17 PZero Rossos on the V70R. They definitely don't look like
205s.

The Ziex is not a performance tire and having it in such a low profile
probably really highlights all of
its faults- I'd think it would be okay on a Honda Civic, but not on a S-car.
