Good points..I'm guilty of choosing appearance over performance.
The best driving VW I've ever built has 16" alloys w 205-45-16 (F), 235-45-16(R) tires. Not my favorite look but an amazing car to drive. Light steering, smooth ride and excellent cornering. Can you bring the Caldwells on your carry on luggage?...
Actually Lanny I was very pleased with the Caldwells ( even on snow...
) but I had to put road legal tires to pass the french technical inspection.
Not sure about the "carry on luggage" transportation tough
See you there !
