Becky and I figured out the other day that if we were to put together a "wish list" for free tires, we'd need sets of:

13"
14"
15"
16"
17"
18"
19"
and 20".

I doubt we'll own anything that has bigger than 20's, and I'm pretty sure there's nothing I'll drive with 12's or smaller... :crazy:

Look at it this way. If someone offered us free tires, we couldn't ever say we wouldn't be able to use them. :chuckle:

I figured out the other day that if I run my old prelude tires on the back of my miata, I'll stretch the gears by 7% :)

I might give it a try and see how it goes. If I like it, I'll order a set like that (mullet style... big in the back, small in the front).
