help, please: I'm researching new tires, and a guy at a tire store just told me that my car should have "v" rated ones.. - b. Apr 24, 11:07 18
- in Switzerland you have to have tires that go up to your car's max speed. -- nm - marcel Apr 24, 11:13 1
  - alas, the odds of most people here (football players with police escorts aside) actually going their top speed are slim. -- nm - b. Apr 24, 11:16
- now that y'all have gotten that out of your systems, any actual help? someone? anyone? -- nm - b. Apr 24, 11:12
- V is massively inappropriate unless you have a high performance sports car.R or S is fine. -- nm - colin Apr 24, 11:12 4
  - *mwah* how about T? -- nm - b. Apr 24, 11:13 2
    - they'll be a better tire, so sure. as long as they're not super expensive. - colin Apr 24, 11:18 1
      - thank you very much! they're in the middle of price and have good enough reviews. what bugged me the most is that - b. Apr 24, 11:20

    - just take 'em off. if you had nice rims, you wouldn't need hubcaps. -- nm - colin Apr 24, 11:13 1
      - and what would I be looking at cost wise comparatively? I agree it would be silly to buy hubcaps if rims were about the same price -- nm - oblique Apr 24, 11:14
    - get some spinners. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 24, 11:13 1
      - that's what I was thinking. They make them with neon, right? -- nm - oblique Apr 24, 11:13
