Thanks to all those who answered my last tire question. I think I'm leaning toward putting 185s on my steel wheels. It was suggested that they will do better in the snow than 205s (other factors being equal, of course). Do others agee? The specifications on the Cooper tire mentioned above look impressive to me---including a load rating of 102 (1875 lbs). It has a speed rating of 100Q---is that good? If anyone has used these tires, I would really appreciate your comments on them. Thanks again for all the help. Lee Kouns 87 Westy with steel wheels 88 Westy with alloy wheels |
