Denis and other DC area listers, I have not dared venture out of my garage with my near-bald P600s(yes, Matt, those very some ones....). New tires will be on the way soon. BTW, which size would you reccomend, guys? 195-50R15 or 205-50R15? I was looking at the following brands/models:
Goodyear Eagle GTII Dunlop SP Sport 4000 Continental SportContact CV90 Dunlop SP Sport 8000 BFG Euro T/A RF Bridgestone Potenza RE71 Michelin Pilot XGT H4 Nitto NT450 Extreme I am leaning towards the Nittos, as I have driven a car with them, and I like them alot. My driving style is as follows: Mostly city, mixed good/bad roads, normal highway sprints at speeds of 75+mph, sometimes up to 125+. I like to drive hard on the backroads, too, and the places I go aren't exactly in the middle of nowhere, so I need tires that will stick, but aren't going to squeal in every corner. And I don't want them to be "singing" on the highway either. But, at the same time, I need something that is going to give me some traction in the rain and occasionally, snow. So which of the above do you reccomend? -Dave '91 GLI 16V In a message dated 1/26/00 4:36:19 AM Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes: > With this sudden load of snow dumped on the northeast, I find myself > getting stuck in the littlest bit of snow.
