Message	Had something set up for a winter car and it badly fell through this weekend and of course we had our 1st big blast of winter this Monday. I have bald summer tires on the back and while I can get rides to work for the next week that isn't going to last long. On stock rims how big or small can I go on the back? 225/50/60's are pretty easy to find but I'm drawing a blank on the rears and I know I had this problem before. Car is a stock 1993 TT. Tim Hartigan 1993 Superwhite TT (March 2000-November 2004) 41/2 years and 70,000 of some the best times of my life 1993 Aztec Red TT (Feb 6 2006 to current)
