I perceive that the ideal tire size for my ESP 1988 Grand Am does not
exist - and I suspect that holds true for other "torque challenged" cars
that can use wider than stock tire sizes.

Specifically, I want a wide tire (better cornering) with a relativly
small diameter (better gearing).  The closest tire  is the Hoosier
225/45/15.  All of the current 245/xx/15  AX tires have a 50 aspect
ratio, and are a LOT taller than the 225/45 and 225/50 tires.  I would
really like a 245/45 or 245/40 15, or a 245 45/14 tire.

Would anyone else like to see these tire sizes??
