<VV> VirtualVairs - Tires anyone ?

[Bryan Blackwell]

A 175/80-13 is often suggested for an early, but 185/80-13 will work 
pretty well.  A 195/70-13 is a bit wider and looks less "tippy toe", 
but it is a trifle short, if you drive a lot on the highway you are 
adding a few RPMs.  You'll find more info on my tire page:
