Generic 185/60 R14 snows on snowflakes all the way around made my 87 16v a 
4wd eater, i made a run from Akron OH to Cleveland OH in 40 minutes averaging 
almost 70 in the worst blizzard 2 years ago right before new years, thats how 
long it takes on a clear low traffic day, i passed a number of SUVs trodding 
along at 45 and some cars stuffed in ditches, aside from having to watch the 
rear end sliping and slow for turns it went like there was no tomorow
