[Shotimes] Tire Recomendations

[Paul Nimz]

Alan

I'm on my second set of Nittos.  A very good highway and rain tire that can
also tolerate cold winter driving if needed.  They also wear evenly and will
last at least 30k.  The original set I had were 225/50s and this set is 225/55
(OEM size on the GEN 3).  I will probably buy another set but go back to the
225/50 when the ones I have wear out.

I don't know about matching them up to the SZs but the tread is very similar.
