RE: [T3] Tires...


195/60x15
Falken (Les Schwab...they were affordable at the time I needed tires)
Treadwear 360 (yuck...the next set will be lower!)
"A" for all ratings
Radial Tubless
Always buy new tires, bought with performance in mind and lower profiling,
not the best performance tires.  Don't remember the price.

Next set will have 300 treadwear, maximum, for better grip.  Thinking of
going to a taller tire so my cruise driving will be better and my speedo
won't have such a big offset (8mph difference at 75mph!).  A taller tire
will also smooth out the bumpy roads a tad more but part of that problem are
the leaky, rear air-adjustable shocks -- those babies are taking a hike as
soon as I can afford some Bilsteins!
