[MR2] mk1 tires

[wbrandt1 at sbcglobal.net]

Yep they won't install lower speed rated tires either - thank the lawyers 
for that - these are just 185-60-14 BGG (not BFD) tires - I laughed - they 
are made in Romania now not Akron

I got some H rated tores for the MB at America's Tire - they came with V 
rated but I am not going 150 on my 300,000 mile MB...
