>Any other significantly AWESOME tire I should check out before I buy these? > We have been getting Nokia tires for our vans - studded snow tires that is. We use to run 205 MXV's in regular conditions (50K mi). These Nokia's have been so fantastic I'm curious if they can be had in either a highway or M+S version. The tires on the '90 syncro we just bought are brand new Cooper's with a very aggressive tread. We'll keep them on, but too early to say if we'd recommend them. They are 6 ply instead of reinforced sidewal, but seem to handle well and the sidewall isn't sagging (I hate that wimpy look!). You might check into the Nokia brand and the Cooper's. Let us hear what you end up with.
