Nokian Hakkapeliitta 5

If he publishes his mods, then maybe we'll buy some if his tires. I'll bet he could design a mean belly pan for a CRX or an HX (or an IRX or a CRXi, heh heh heh).

That's the one! And just for statistics sake...he was running the 155/65/14. Maybe Neil Blanchard in Maynard, MA can catch up with him and talk him into joining the site...would be a great resource to have here.

Maybe the angled tread design is based on Apu's sideburns.

One difference is California VX's didn't have lean burn. Which is probably the main reason you want a VX!
