Funny, I just took them off and want to sell them. They are 285-35-22. They came with the car when we bought it. Tires are almost new. They take different lug nuts than the 19's which I have. I am figuring $800-1000 on Craigslist should do it.

Tale of Two (actually more) Spiders
The first pic is my 79 Spider that I sold this past week. The second one is a 74 that I very recently acquired. I've had a fair number of Spiders, running or not and they are great cars. As pretty much anything else that wears an Alfa badge. Not pictured are my two Beemers (this thread is about cars, right?) and my wife's 3-series Bimmer.

Hyundai Azera, by the looks of it:

I don't think they sell that model in Europe - definitely not mentioned on Hyundai UK's website. It's related to the Sonata, which they used to sell here (an earlier and ugly version).

That 94 Supra Turbo was/is a great car. I believe they stopped importing them to the U.S. in 1995. My wife and I were looking to buy one in 1995, but they were priced at over $50,000 U.S. (a lot of money in 1995) so since the car was going to be her daily driver, we ended up with the Lexus SC300 (shown on this thread) which was really a normally aspirated Supra that cost about $10,000 less. Toyota just priced the Supras out of the market-place. I keep waiting for them to bring it back in some desirable form.

It's actually a 2012 Hyundai Sonata. I'm not sure what it's called in other countries.
It's not a bad car as far as midsize sedans go. The steering is pretty responsive but the engine is anemic! And FWD sucks!
Oddly enough the entertainment features on the car are miles ahead of the XKR's. Then again, it is 5 years newer.

Volvo s40T5 R-design for the missus. A lovely little car, quite underrated I think. My daughter is learning how to drive in it, and I expect she'll end up with it. For a replacement for my missus we've looked at s60T6 (steering too heavy, turning circle too wide) Evoque (gutless), Benz A250 Sport (not as good as the s40 or V40), and V40T5 (fun but not as good as the s40T5). We are waiting for the baby jag.
