Well, I originally had dunlops on my car...When I made the fated "13 1/2 
hour trip to Montreal in a blizzard" and I came out ok...These Goodyear 
TR/GA mix is ok, but I just loved my Dunlops...I think I'll get 15" rims 
from a local dealer (Alloy rims with 4 chunk design, similar to 3 chunk 
SAAB wheels, and they're called "Quattro" Muhahahhahaha!)

Well, i can snag some DOT SS/kevlar/Teflon/whatever the hell ones for 
around 80 here....I was wondering though, how difficult are these things to 
put on?
