Matt H,

Let me figure out sizes, currently on 15"x7" PDs all around. Any suggestions on size- and have you got enough to do 4 tires.

What types of payment can you accept.

Thanks

Martin

ACG - any winter tire wears a lot quicker than an A/S tire. They dont last for crap when the sun comes back out either :>)
Thanks Matt,

Either 195/65 15 or 205/60 15 (yeah I now that is a little shorter than stock).

I would recommend the sizes that Manning has listed, I should have plenty to do 4 for both of you. Paypal would be nice, but I might be able to work it so you can pay direct, will have to check.

Matt,

I currently have the original size tires and wheels, front 205/55-16 and rear 225/50-16. The Blizzaks sound great, so this sounds like a good way to go. Shipping would be to 50003 in Iowa.

In the 205/60/15 I have one set of Blizzak MZ-02
In the 195/65/15 I have LOADS of Firestone Wintermaster Plus, I have loads of these in virtually every size and they are by far the cheapest option
In the 205/225/16 I have a set of Blizzak MZ-01

I will have to call and verify availability. If you have interest PM me and I will get you a price.

If you plan to allow space for chains, the owners manual for my 89-S2 says that 205/55-16 should be used all around. Where I live, in Washington state, when the Chains Required sign is up, there is no choice. --Roy--

What do you have in 195-55-15 sizing Mat?

And would you happen to have anything in the stock size for an '86 951? 205-55-16 / 225-50-16?

Thanks,
Sach

Personally, and professionally, I think that is dumb. If you are in-tune with your car the slightest bit you will notice a difference once you leave the parking lot after you put them on. Stick with the recommended (or better) performance rating that the manufacture put on the vehicle.

A few terms come to mind… A couple are: (1) Burnouts, (2) Donuts.
