Re: Wheels vs.power

I found it interesting that you are happy with your FZ-4s.  I put a set of 205/45/16s on my 2.0 and as
much as I like the looks of the wheel/tire combo......IMHO they are the absolute worse handling on dry
surfaces.  They break loose much too easy.  I bought them because of price and should have known
better.  They have a treadwear of about 300 and probially will last longer than I want them to.  I have a
buyer for them and will go back to my Dunlap SPs or Michelin Pilots.   In the rain the FZ4s do very well.
