Re: Need tire/wheel advice, quick!

Man, that stinks when you go round and round and finally make a decision 
you're happy with and then you get that out of stock deal! Ouch.

Since you're back in limbo, I'll throw in my 2 cents FWIW. I spent big
money 
on the Goodyear DS G3 F1 ....... however, I've re-convinced myself that
for 
the street, you're better off (unless money is no object) to save money
and 
go with a tire that has a high DOT wear rating. Good breakaway 
characteristics are more im****tant since the cars limits are so high
anyway.

Pat mentioned my wheels, apparently he likes them almost as much as I do!
I 
went with 16" OZ Racing "Ultraleggra's". They weigh in at about 14.5 lbs
and 
I felt like that was quite good for the cost which I just went and double 
checked (I didn't remember having paid this much, hmmmm) and I paid $219 /

wheel. While looking at the receipt I saw how much I paid for the
Goodyears 
also ($128 ea for 205/45/16). That package (from Tire Rack) was $1500
total. 
At the time I had done a 'side job' to get the money so I was not my usual

(tight a_s ) self. They do look great and I really feel that the 16's are 
the best trade off of price / looks / handling / durability. But again,
all 
this is only worth 2 cents :-)
