Yes I am, and I like them very much, thank you Peter.  Right now I have
175/70-13 tires on the stock rims, and the ride isn't anything close to
harsh.  It was a little stiffer with 185/60-14 tires but still no where near
unacceptable.  I don't know how old they are, but I've had no problems with
bottoming out what so ever.  I do wonder though if HD's in the rear might be
better because sometimes the rear of the car gets a bit unsettled in a bumpy
turn.  I don't have any swaybars installed on the car right now, just a 16V
lower front stress bar.  I'm sure the addition of swaybars will stiffen the
ride also, but hopefully the 205/60-13 tires will compensate for the
increased stiffness.
