SHOwagon Tires
With the tires I thought I would try something new that hasn't been killed on the SHOtimes list yet. I looked to TireRack.com and did some research. I ended up with the Dunlop SP Sport W-10.
I had Bob at the local SHOp order me a set of the 215/55 and we set them up the the SHO rims. With the rear wheel well being so tight on the wagon I couldn't upgrade to the 225 tire. It just wouldn't be safe with hard turns and auto crossing.
Here's what some of the reviews say about the W-10.
Dunlop SP Sport W-10 - The SP Sport W-10 is an Ultra High Performance "summer" radial which Dunlop designed to blend good looks with a "bad" attitude. This makes the SP Sport W-10 appropriate for customizing today's sport coupes and sedans because they provide a different look with a size lineup that provides a range of Plus One, Plus Two and Plus Three" fitments. Depending on size, the SP Sport W-10 features V- or W-Speed Ratings.
On the outside the SP Sport W-10's wide tread features large blocks (to enhance dry road traction and handling) that are aligned in a "waving" directional pattern (to help increase wet traction and resist hydroplaning). Dunlop's "Chaos" tread block arrangement varies the size and shape of the tread blocks to help break up repetitive patterns and minimize noise levels. On the inside the SP Sport W-10 features two steel belts with a spirally wrapped JointLess Band (JLB) of Nylon to reinforce the tread area for high speed durability and predictable handling while minimizing weight and improving ride uniformity. The lower sidewall features Dunlop's Max-Flange Shield (MFS) rim protectors to help protect large diameter wheels from painful curb impacts.
