   I find the 185/70-13 size particularly useful for those
applications where one just parks the car and looks
at it (yeah, yeah, just like I usually do). Gotta find
some funds in the budget to upgrade to 205/60-13.
And these Yokohama A008's are supposed to be sticky,
too.
   BTW, isn't 185 the stock size on Geo Metros or something?
   Just my $.02, see my signature file below.
