Hi- After spending a year and a half bouncing around on not-quite-right Michelin passsenger car tires, I went for Nokians. The model is NRH2. They are 205/65R15 RF 100T. Reinforced with a load rating of 100. Cool looking directional tread pattern similar to a Formula 1 rain tire. What a difference! Stability, turn-in, high speed cornering, all much improved. Got them from e Tires.com http://www.etires.com/, $78 each. Nokian apparently puts their money into R&D and support of amateur racers rather than blimps over the Super Bowl etc. Cutting edge products that most people have never heard of. I recommend Nokians without hesitation. Gary |
