Just received my winter tire package today from The Tire Rack. Got new '98
Passat steel wheels ($30 ea.) and 215/75/15 Blizzaks ($67 ea.) , and 4 new
nice quality hubcaps ($18 / set). These are 27.75" tall, should be super for
my yearly trip into snow country in the northwest. Quite an awesome looking
setup, IMO ! Of course I will be machining out the centers today, to fit my
Syncro's hubs. One thing I noticed about these tires- the load capacity on
them is 1742 lbs. @ 35 PSI  !!! This makes them doubly good for our Westies
!!  Can hardly wait to test them out in some deep stuff !  I'll keep you
updated on the handling / capability of my Westy with his new 'feet'.
