or their worst broken heart stories or anything along those lines
The Wall Street funded attacks on OWS are highly predictable.
Entirely up to him in the long run. I have played without a shield or cage and felt it was easier to follow the play but there's a risk factor, what if I get hit by a stick, puck, the boards etc. With a half visor you get the pro look but a stick or puck can hit u below the nose .. Full face protection is safest but visors fog up; wire cages take some getting used to. In the end, it's up to him .. hopefully he has good insurance because as Itech used to say in their ads, teeth are replaceable, eyes are not. If he insists on staying with a half shield I would recommend he wear a mouthguard. Getting new teeth isn't cheap, and liquid diets (shakes) from a facial injury are no fun. Likewise stiches might look manly but are expencive if you haven't good insurance.
Do not step up in size without a tire expert checking the car. The wheel wells on today's small cars, especially the front ones, have very little extra clearance, and it is possible even one size wider or higher will rub on tight corners, especially on a rough road. I have the same problem with my car, I have 175/65/14, and I cannot put 185/65/14 in the front, the clearance is that tight. If the tire experts actually look at it and say it is okay, go for it. If the larger tire is listed as an option in your manual, you are okay, go for it. You might very well be okay, but please be sure before, not after. Good luck, and remember, either will change your speedometer reading, it will read a little low.
YES, you can use BOTH of those tire sizes! They are barely different from the original ones.
