Re: Snows for 5kcstq

listers,

I agree with Erik. I am running 195/65-15's for snows and the car feels
undertired. Not severely, but it really does need as much tire as
possible in the dry. 

BTW, does anyone know whether or not it's POSSIBLE to run 225's on a
stock, non-flared Type-44?
I would like to run 225/50-16's on possibly A-4 16 x 7's on my '89 2CTQ,
BUT when I look at the clearance of the stock BBS 6" rims wearing
205/60-15 Toyo Proxes, it doesn't look possible. Anyone try this?
