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

["Patrick Bureau" <pbureau@home.com>]

Jason,

I would get the 13" out.
Sears sells 4 season tires made by Michelin " WeatherWise MX" Which
are a brand name for the Michelin MX4 4 season tires, they are
90-110$ a piece and they are very good tires for snow/ice, I have
these on my rocco and I am very happy with them, and sears replaces
them in case of flat tires etc....

they are 185/13/75 tires.

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.
