<VV> Stock wheels or not???

[Ron]

I'll stick to my point with saying that with legal and sane driving on 
public roads, you'll never get any value out of "performance" tires.  The 
rally and econorun at Portland stressed the cars about as much as anyone 
would ever want to and yet touring tires were surely adequate at all times.
