Re: [T3] while we're speaking of tires...

<x-flowed>I agree!  The previous owner put 205's on my ride and the fronts rub the 
wheel well wall when the steering is turned to the lock :-(  But they're 
new and have a good Traction and Temp rating ("A" for each) so I'm 
keeping 'em until they need replacing.  BTW, had a four wheel alignment 
done today ($50).  Car handles a little better now.
