[Shotimes] 205 or 225?

[Dave Garber]

They look silly? What makes you say that? I thought the SZ50's I had on my
95 and the ES100's on my/your 94 looked great in 225/55 (better than the
215/60 it calls for IMO)? And frankly, they handled great too!

You're just getting used to that Subie with it's rubber band height tires!
