Firestone (eeek!) Firehawks 27x8.5 here.  Love the larger size and lower RPM
on the highway.  Last weekend made it to Atlanta from Montgomery in 2 hours
15 minutes.  That's a 78 MPH average.  Confirmed by a very surprised friend
who followed me in his Jetta.

VW says 185s are fine.  I'm using 185 Yoko 356Cs on my 7 passenger and
they're doing great.
