[urq] winter tires

Here's the deal, I'm putting my V8q 5spd snow set on my the "new" v8q
that I bought for my girlfriend and I've never had a snow set for the
urq.  I want to buy a set of snows that I can use on either my V8 or
my urq.

My urq is an '85 so the stock size is 215/50-15, but the earlier ones
had 205/60-15's.  The stock size on my V8 is 215/60-15.  The stock
wheel for my '85 is 15x8 et24, for the V8, 15x7.5 et35.

My urq is lowered so the 205/60's would represent a lift of a bit more
than a half inch.  The other dimensions, using the stock V8 wheels,
would fall within the dimensions of the stock '85 urq tire/wheel
package.

The difference in size for the V8 is negligible... just a minor
decrease in ride height and a 2% speedo difference, so I'm not really
concerned there.

I don't see a downside either way really, but I'm polling the list
just in case I'm being short-sighted.

Thanks,
Ed
