RE: [TECH] Wheels & Tires...HELP!
That's what I'm gonna do...Thanks for helping snap out of my desperate
stupor. I'll just get snow tires for now on the 13s. The car is still gonna
handle like balls, Neuspace race springs, Bilstein sports, and poly and sway
bars all over the place....Thanks for the advice everyone...

Forget big and fat when what you want for the coming season is tall and
skinny. I highly recommend that you buy snow tires for your 13" rims, enjoy
amazing traction during the winter, and then spend some *cash* in the Spring
on real performance tires. This way you will have max traction, the best
cash flow, and must only sacrafice some performance during this Fall. Either
do this or head down to your local junkyard and simply buy some GTI rims for
$25 each. Mount up some $50 performance tires in the 195/55/14 size and call
it a day until the snow comes.
If your options are truly limited to just what you can charge right this
second... then you should grin and bear what you've got right now or borrow
$100 from somebody for the rims. Plastic is evil when you don't have the
cash to back it up.
