Re: ur-q tyres

[Dave Eaton <dave.eaton@minedu.govt.nz>]

well, i;ve just replaced the p700's on the ur-q with s02's.  i'll post driving
impressions when i get the chance...

s02's $350ea
p700's $560ea

i don't think that the p700's are better tyres than the s02s with their more
modern compounds.  i expect the s02's to be a little softer (offset some by the
wide ur-q rims), and to offer better wet weather grip without giving up too
much of the great p700 dry grip.

i also didn't change the tyre size.  the more i thought about it, the more i
liked the idea of the 215/50 15's.  the car handles sweet with them.  i didn't
want to screw with this, or particularly the ride height...
