*IF* you can grab the right person at your local Discount Tire they can order any tire made by any manufacturer's line that they carry. Even if not normally imported. My '66 has Continental Euro spec 195/60-15 on the back and 175/55-15 on the front. I'll be going to a 155 on the front as soon

While this may not be for everyone, check out the stock fitment for Smart Fortwos. They run a staggered fitment, with 145/65R15s (155/60R15s on newer models) up front and 175/55R15s out back. Available in Continental and Bridgestone. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
