You could try a 145/65 Continental they will fit on stock rims and are really low profile, should be perfect for what your after, Priced them yesturday $146 each.

Crikey! Some of you guys oughta have a drive around Kalgoorlie/Boulder some time - I sometimes worry about my (rather high clearance) 4WD bottoming out!

I like the look of a lowered car. It can lower the centre of gravity (already bloody good in a VW) and, to a point, decrease wind resistance (when you get really low, turbulence can be a problem.) But I'm currently negotiating with the authorities to _raise_ my car.

I believe cars should be driven, bikes should be ridden (not hung in pubs - especially old British bikes,) and women should be loved.

If it's wet: drink it.
If it's dry: smoke it.
If it moves: bonk it.
If it don't: kick it.

...the roadie's creed.

(you could add:

if it's got a big engine: drive it.
if it's got a small engine: ride it.
if it don't move: work it!)
