	Ola...

	If you're in any kind of winterish location, don't go with all-season
tires.  Go with a good winter rated performance tire.  My personal fav
are the Pirelli W210A's.  Rated for 210kph (130mph?), and quiet, too.  

	Oh, and they cut through slush/snow, wet crap/wet, cold crap/wet, cold,
and iced underneath crap with ease, and still maintaining your control.

	I've got steel winter wheels for mine, which makes a difference when
cutting through snow, as well.

	Your best bet is to get a good summer set, and a good winter set of
tires.

Subject: All-Season Tires

I'm looking at putting High Performance All-Season Tires on my
GLX, using the stock wheels.  I've narrowed the tires down to:

Toyo FZ4's                              $119/tire
Dunlop SP 5000's                $109/tire
Pirelli 7000SS's                        $129/tire

Prices from Town Fair Tire are above, and include mounting, balancing,
etc...  Any suggestions/preferences by the group?  I'm leaning towards
the Dunlops, but have always heard good things about the Toyo's.  Thanks
in advance.
