RE: 4x108 wheels another 2 cents

[Don Muirhead <dmr@kwic.com>]

I'm running on 15x7 (4x108) 5 spoke with 205/50/15 but I did not opt for 
the lowered suspension on my coupe.  Tried it didn't like rubbing in the 
rear wheels wells over bad train crossings/bumps with 40 kilo dog + 
groceries in back so took out the H&R's replaced with new Audi springs. 
 This has also contributed immensely to the increased population of local 
wildlife.

The problem that I'm experiencing (Canada) is that the 205/50/15 tire 
selection is becoming scarce.  If you drive a lot of km's/miles like me 
(80-85,000 km/yr) and run on "Z's" you'll pay big bucks you have fairly 
good choices but no longevity.

Drop to "V's" your choices start to shrink - but not necessarily the price 
although you will get a bit longer tread life.

Dare drop to "H's" even less of a choice and the prices really don't change 
that much either - but then safety becomes a issue if you have a heavy 
foot.

Another $.02 ($.0138 CDN).
