tirerack has a winter tire package with 15" steelies and blizzaks, that's always a good combo.

X2 - love my lm-25's - and I can still take turns pretty hard, unlike those with 15"steelies.

Letters schmetters...Can you tell me what 195/65-15 snow tire comes in a v speed rating? They might dig out of a hole(a snowy one-like the pun), but they can't launch worth a lick.

thats not what the guy in the other lane thinks...lol
speed ratings on tires are only for sustained high speed, you would be a stain on the seat wraping one of these skittles around a pole @ 115 mph.

Fenerally, the guy in the other lane thinks the srt-4 is surprisingly fast as it dusts him, no matter what the tire, but I think anyone hitting a pole at 115 would be nothing but a stain on their seat, no matter what the car.

And have you ever taken a turn at 145 on a non v rated tire? I haven't but I don't think it would be a good idea, either. I have taken turns at 145 in the srt-4 though and found it supremely stable. (actually moreso than my 944 at 130).
