   Used to run TRX's in that same size you mentiond on a Peugeot 505 
STI.  Great tires, expensive, DON'T run them in winter, I've tried.  
However, they are (were?) available in a KICK ASS winter version.  Get 
them. If I didn't already have my winter Yokes, I'd try to buy those 
wheels from you for the winter, and run Sport 8000's in the summer, or 
something.  TRX summer tires were good, the winter tires were great>
