RE:  Tear drops tires

Used to autoX with Goodyear 205/55-14 ZRS's.  Will buff off lettering on 
inside with rubbing on strut and abrade liner minorly on stock 16V Scir 
IME.  Have used same in rear and also 195-55-14 Dunlop Spt 8000's 
without any problems, but 16V had trick relieved lower spring perch, 
fWIW.

RE:  Blond 10W-30 stuff

Ifn you're using conventional dyno juice 10W-30, it should be "all good" 
for temporate climates.  Ifn you believe the motor oil FAQ, it may use less
VI improvers, help cold starts, fuel economy, but dunno nothing about 
hair color.

RE:  Snow tires

Have both 175/65-14 and 175-70-13 Nokkia NR-10 Haks.  Kinda mushy on 
cornering in dry compared to Pirelli 185-60-14s winter 190s or bro's same in 
Blizzaks, but when there's snow, they rule.  13" wheel should be cheaper 
and lighter, unless you've gone with the 10.1" brakes, then 14"s.  IMO 
if you're keeping the car, dedicated 13"s all around are better than 
just a 14" up front.
