<P><BR>So, you're getting rid of some used tires? In 185 R 14? </P>

<DIV></DIV>>I'm sure the D rating has to be a heavier duty tire than the C
<DIV></DIV>>rating----
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I believe its the way the steel cord's are woven that make's a big
<DIV></DIV>>difference---
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I went to Costco last wekend and their brand X tire's were more than the
<DIV></DIV>>Yoko's, and were only C rated---
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I don't know how many miles the Yoko 356 D's-- 185's that are presently
<DIV></DIV>>on the Van have--but it's due--and I ordered them from Discount
<DIV></DIV>>tire---and they matched Tire racks price of $61.00, and their store is 3
<DIV></DIV>>blocks from me---so no big deal for getting them mounted and balanced--
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I like what's on the Van now----I just went up one size----I wanted
<DIV></DIV>>225's, but the tire isn't available in that size---so 195's will have to
<DIV></DIV>>do----
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Yep--I like them much better than Florida---
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Have you ever heard of Armstrong tire's?
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I think they are kaput---but I had several vehicle's with them on --and
<DIV></DIV>>I'll tell you they were the best tire's for ride, milage, and all
<DIV></DIV>>weather handling I have ever had----
<DIV></DIV>>The Yoko's are second to them---
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I just can't locate them anymore---
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Later,

<DIV></DIV>>That's funny you should say that cause I just saw
<DIV></DIV>>http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Compare1.jsp?startIndex=0&vehicleSearch=true&width=185%2F&ratio=0&diameter=14&sortCode=34200&minSpeedRating=R&ratio=&width=185%2F&diameter=14&minLoad=Reinforced&search=true&pagelen=20&pagenum=1&pagemark=1&manufacturer=Continental&manufacturer=Michelin&manufacturer=Yokohama
<DIV></DIV>>and I was noticing there are three different yokohama options of the Y
<DIV></DIV>>356:
<DIV></DIV>>C, C with RBL, and D (where RBL is raised black lettering).
<DIV></DIV>>And then I noticed the big price difference between them and the
<DIV></DIV>>Michelin Agilis...
<DIV></DIV>>So you like them better than Florida? I wonder if the D have a tighter
<DIV></DIV>>turn than the C?
