[200q20v] RE: New rubber

[Cordeiro, Alan]

I have been very happy with both dry as well as wet and snow performance
of a set of Michelin Pilot 215/60 XGT H4,  OK, OK, a compromise in the
performance,
but I think a great choice if you just have one set of wheels...(BBS 15
inch)
I have been longing for a set of 16 or 17 inch wheels for summer, but other
financial priorities (keeping 3 old cars, all >100k miles, running) and
wife's veto on "unnecessary" spending have kept me from doing so.

(Similar problem with the CPU upgrade BTW..)

Also, I did have COMP T/A, VR4s on the '86 5kq, and was unhappy with the
snow
performance.
