Get your wheels balanced. That will cure the shaking steering wheel. [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

195/60/15. Thats what i run for winters. You might notice a little more flex in the tire because of its narrower track but its only 1cm. Canadian Tire sells good winters called the Nordic Icetracks. Ive found them to be better than even Michelin Arctic Alpins whick cost $40 more a tire.

Thanks for your help.<BR>I am looking for all-season. I cannot afford $100 each cause I need all four.<BR>One more question. How much it cost to replace timing belt on MX3, and where is the best place to do it? A lot of mechanics never woreked on that type of cars, and I want it to be done well.

Hmmm, it could be a tough find, at least in the 205/55 R15 size. There aren't many tires in that size. FYI, I just purchased 4 all-season Bridgestone Potenza RE910's from Kal-Tire for about $115/each, total price of about $600 (including taxes, wheel balancing, etc.) Eagle GT II's were priced at about $135/each and Michelin Pilots were in the $150 range. Maybe check with a Canadian Tire. Hope you're able to find something, good luck!
