Just for the record, I was _NOT_ recommending the RE92, it was just the
first thing I ran across in a 165-wide 14" tire.

So, unless I can afford two full sets of racing tires (or to stay home
when it snows), I should just roll over and die ? Sorry guys, there are
some hard realities in life, one of them is that we sometimes don't get
the toys we want. For that matter, when I leave home to go snow skiing,
it's frequently 60F or warmer. Am I supposed to stop halfway up the
mountain and change tires ? Oh, and are one of you going to come carry
the spare set around for me ?

Must depend on the size and car then. On the rear of my 59 TR3A, they
were like giant ball bearings in the rain. On the front, they
hydroplaned. My RE71s work _much_ better wet or dry (even though
they're wider, 205 vs 185).
