Yeah, I never did report back. To refresh memories, I made the trip out to Parma on pretty questionable tires. At least they weren't still bias ply. <G> Anyway, I woke up to a flat in Cheyenne and used my spare to get the rest of the way. Not wanting to risk the return with no spare and three questionable tires, I opted to get four new skins for Sophy on Saturday morning before the show. Brian recommended the Les Schwab right next door to the host hotel and there I went. They had two different tires in stock in 165R15. I opted for the "better" of the two in terms of treadwear and price. Specifics are: Centred Metric Radial 165R15 86S Treadwear 320 Traction B Temperature B Price: a touch over $200 mounted and balanced I have been very happy with the tires so far. They ride very nice. I routinely drive 75 to 80 mph and tend to be a bit "spirited" in my corning. They feel very sure footed. They seem to be wearing nicely. They have handled the rough Michigan roads and the winter weather nicely. I have over 8000 miles on them so far. So far, a very good investment.
