> Alan, my understanding is that the factory alloys are the same width as
the steel wheels.  If this is correct either the Agilis or the Yokohamas
should work okay.  I've got the MXTs on my steel rims.  The 185s will
probably look goofy compared to the MXTs but goofy looking tires with tread
are way better than ones without.  I hate hearing that the MXTs are not
available.
