RE: [TECH] Wheels & Tires...HELP!

["Jason87VW" <vze26kw6@verizon.net>]

My problem is $$$ money baby...All I have for funds at this point is my
Sears card. That's it! The money I do have has to go to my Motronic
ignition. I am truly screwed. Unless I keep the 13" stock rims that came on
the 81 (which is what I wanted to do) and try to find a good snow tires or
something. I live just south of Boston so snowy conditions are highly
likely. I honestly don't know what to do...What is that biggest fattest tire
I can put on the 13's ?

Jason, you are clearly out of your mind. To pay that kind of money for a
crap tire is absolutely crazy. :^) Proceed immediately to your closest car
magazine and flip to the Tire Rack advertisment pages. Or, go to their
website and sample tire prices and specs from there. Your $117 can buy you a
helluvalot better tire than the Dunlop SP5000.

Also, what rims are you looking at? What do you currently have? Are you
absolutely in need of new rims? It is better to invest in some 195/55/14
tires and put them on your stock 14x6" rims than to buy a marginal 15" tire
and rims. Also, where are you located in the U.S? I highly recommend
performance tires for everything but snowy conditions. If this is a concern
for you then buy proper snow tires. All seasons tires are a compromise under
all conditions.
