[Paul Nimz]

Ya who made me a tire expert.  I'm driving on a set of $500 225/60/16s SZ
50s that are too big and have been sitting in the shed for three years.
With that said they do not rub in the back on the '93 even with the woefully
worn sagging springs.  My '97 is a different story with the 245/50/16s.
