Thanks for the replies
Looks like cookie cutters may be the way to go. I am also leaning towards the autoX or high performance tires in 205-50-15 Interesting about the gearing, I believe you are correct because my speedo reads 10MPH higher than I am actuality traveling. Are you saying that if I increase aspect ratio it may help this? Thanks Mike |

Its surprising how well even lower performance tires work on our cars. Light weight and good suspension make a huge diffference. |
