Subject:      Michelin Agilis 61 Tires Report
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

I've had Michelin Agilis 61 tires on my '87 Westy for three days now. These
tires are, far and away, the best tires I've had on the Westy since I bought the
vehicle new, way back in the last millenium!  I've run two sets of Continental
Transporters and one set of Dunlop LT in the past thirteen years.

Wind? What wind? It's just not a factor any more when highway driving. The
vehicle tracks straight and true with just a light touch on the steering wheel
and corners like a snake with very little body roll. Lane changes are quick and
crisp. Highway noise is quite acceptable. We're still snow-free here, in the
center of winter world, so I can't comment on the tires' performance in snow.
Granted, the tires are expensive but, IMHO, Michelin Agilis 61 tires are worth
every penny (Canadian or U.S.).
