If NOt D60s, Than What?

[William Murin <murinw@cs.uwp.edu>]

My '89 100q is getting beyond desperate for tires.

If one take the recent posts about the D60s as sufficient reason to look 
at other options, what are those options?

Tires do not need to be all season--I intend to buy 4 snows next 
winter--probably won't spend the $$$$ on Hakkias, but 4 snow tires 
nevertheless.

Folks at tire Rack recommend the Bridgestone Potenza RE 71 at $83 the 
tire plus shipping.  A friend who is a Japanese car mechanic is a big fan 
on Yokohama, especially the AVS Intermediate.

Thoughts?  These are strictly street tires, a pretty good mixture of in 
town and highway.  

Also thought about doing a +1 sizing and going to 16" wheels with 
205/50/16 rubber.  Anyone done that?  Suggesitons, recommendations.  I 
know the car does not have the power to make use of 16" rubber, but I 
always thought the prime directive was to be cool at all times.

THanks.
