>Can LT tires also handle well? Er... better than they used to. But the lack of good car tires can kill you. *I* would NOT fit truck tires... in fact will be using 205/50/16 or lower-profile 17s on mine eventually. With Konis and aftermarket swaybars. A tire which gives a good ride, lasts a long time and resists punctures well is NOT a good tire if its grip is poor and it causes poor handling, as all truck tires will, and most cheap car tires (just as an ill-handling uncomfortable car is not good just because it's reliable). You pays your money and takes your chances. A set of truck or cheap car tires may not, but then again, they may well KILL you... and you won't know for sure until it's too late. -- Andrew Grebneff 165 EvansSt, Dunedin 9001, New Zealand <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> Ph: 0064 (3) 473-8863 fax: 0064 (3) 479-7527 1986 Toyota Corolla 1.8DX CE80 diesel sedan 1989 Toyota Corolla 1.8DX CE96 diesel van 1989 Toyota Corona 2.0D Select CT170 diesel sedan 1992 Toyota Estima Lucida 2.2 turbodiesel MPV (=narrow "Previa") 1984 VW Caravelle GL (to be fitted with 260hp Subaru SVX flat-6 & Porsche G50 trans) Seashell, Macintosh, VW & Toyota van nut
