I misspoke when I said that the Verdesteins were on the back, they're 
actually on the front.  I have Gislaveds on the front.  Here's the specs:


Front:Verdestein Sprint + R80 185R14 94R Reinforced 44 psi max pressure
Back:Gislaved 185R14C LT M+S Nord Frost C 55 psi max pressure


Sorry about my confusion.  Hope this helps.


Jack
