Does anyone recall the old "Car and Driver" tire tests where part of the
testing was to ink the tire to get a "footprint" of the contact patch area?
This was a great tool that illustrated the differences between narrow
and wide tires.


Speaking of snow and wet weather... does anyone have any reccomendation
for such a tire for 15" alloys?
