<VV> Tires

[Bill Elliott]

Yes, I have run these on several cars. Exceptionally good on dry 
pavement (especially considering the price and only an H rating), decent 
on wet pavement, suicidal in even light snow. Fairly stiff sidewalls (so 
good turn-in and feel), but also a bit rough riding and a bit noisy. 
Wear is a bit faster than you'd suspect. In all a very decent 
performance tire and a very good buy (all things considered). Likely the 
best 205/60-13 still available.

Problem is, none of these sizes is especially good for a Corvair...all 
too short. I've run 206/60 (the tallest variety listed) on a Corvair on 
stock rims. Great around town...really tiring on a trip... and they look 
strange unless the car is lowered.
