[s-cars] winter tires

[LL - NY]

Although by the calculator they are excessively close in sidewall height
(thus rolling radius and circumference, hence quattro acceptable) you'd best
check Bridgestone's website to see if they're listed as having the same
mounted diameters. As for handling balance, if you run the wide ones in the
rear in the dry and moderately wet (non-hydroplaning) conditions, it'll
understeer; in deep snow, if the fronts bite and the rears float, it may
drift pretty nicely. The opposite if you do as Pontamac did on the last
Bonnaville GXP and you reverse (front wide, rear narrow) the mounting
(although I'd hesitate saying miss Piggy'll "oversteer").

I imagine you're considering this because you just happened on one pair of
those tires for cheap or something, eh?
