What's the tallest, skinniest tire you and your friends ever driven on?

Can you say 155/80-R13??? Me and the boys took a 1500-mile road trip this weekend and that's what the car had. I didn't know such a size even existed, it looked like something that would be on a riding mower for your lawn. Funny thing was those tires were not bad in 3 white-outs that we went througn. I think skinny is definitely better in snow, but I think 155 is still below optimum. If I had to take a wild guess, I'd say 185-195 would be best for snow.

What a crazy trip, we should put it on DVD and have the viewer choose from 3 alternate endings.....:cool:

In college I had a 89 Ford Festiva.

145/ SR 12 tires. $24.99 each at sears. I loved that car, for some strange reason.

I kind of want one of those for a side project I found some intrest in at one point. Crazy I know but with the right changes... what a sleeper.
