I really like the Yokahama (sp?) Avid H4, but I am not sure if it comes in
those sizes.

I need to replace the tires on my 4kq.  I have finally got the bushings,
ball joints, tie rods and alignment straightened out, so now I would
like to get some tires that actually have an edge on them.  (The present
ones were so badly out of alignment that although the tread is fine,
they have round outside edges which makes the car handle lousy) The
previous owner put 15'' wheels on it so I need to find a 195 or
205-55-15.  I assume the 205 will  fit? anyway I need a tire that is
good in rain and preferably quiet.  I have the stock wheels with snow
tires so snow performance is not of great concern.  I thought the Dunlop
D60's looked like a good choice, but it doesn't look like they make it
in a 55 profile for a 15'' wheel.  The present tires are 50 series,
presumably since they are easier to find, but I would prefer to have the
stock overall diameter and a little more clearance.

thanks for the suggestions.

Luke
