Buyers Guide available in Sport Compact Car magazine - August 2002
No prices, but a description on lots 'o tires....

 

...but only if you want something 17" or bigger and want to spend more than $150US per tire..

 

I read that article. It was interesting but offered no solid data. They just spouted off the manufacturers' B.S and offered a few opinions. I wish the would take the time to get a car, (a Civic, Focus, whatever) mount all the tires, and test them in a controlled environment. Then they could report some real statistics.

Speaking of SCC, did anyone see that Sentra "buildup?" That was some funny stuff.

 

build up! more like strip down. I feel sorry for that guy, his car looked good bodywise with bodykit and rims. Its pretty fast 6sec 0-60, with stock hp!

 

I wonder if they put it back together, and if they did you know it'll have more rattles.

 

Then they'd have to rename their publication Road & Track. Reminds me of all the free magazines you get at work, they really say a bunch of nothing but contain countless ads. If you're lucky you sign up for a free web seminar and get a free golf shirt out of it.

 

so what would be a good tire size for our cars? for uh... 18x7.5 rims...
