ooh!!! 205/60's? wow... if I had one more new rim i would buy new tires, but
I already have 185/60's cause I didn't want to wait for shipment....(my tires
were practically bald) I have yokohama S306's. they were pretty cheap. 200
something for everything. anyhow, can't you go all the way to 55 series on
14x6 inch? that would look good as well... 205/55 would be great!! I looked
in the mags... check the motor trend... look for the "TIRE RACK" advertise
ment and look at good year and Bf goodrich as well. they go all the way to
265/50.... big!!! I wonder if it'll fit in the well? I don't think so it
might rub. I've got questions about tires that I'm not totally clear on:

1. explain the attributes about H - S - and V rated tires
2. explain the attributes about the 3 digit numbers from 185, 195, 200+
3. "" "" "" """ the 2 digit numbers from 75 down to
55
3. the speed ratings from 195/60VR14 (OEM speed right on) to 185/60HR14. and
then from OEM to 200+/60-(SVH) 14.... or going up to 15, 16, or 17 inch rims.

What I mean by attributes is performance no matter what brand, or what brands
to go for, and ride difference (stiff and bouncy or soft like floating on the
clouds), how they take road abnormalities (potholes, speed bumps... debri,
etc.) and noise....

And the higher the 3 digit number the wider but I dunno about how low a
profile it goes?
And the 2 digit number is the profile also? dunno please clear it up, from my
questions.

As for PCNA: Seattle Chapter..... the only prob. is who's gonna set
everything up? I certainly can't.... not enough resources, give ME about 5
years and I might do it. Other than that ask someone financially stable (mine
goes all into my 405 ;-) hehe and it's not even to par)
