Any tire recommendations, 205'50r15?

[Tom Vandervoort]

Chris: I'd be cautious about the HTRZ's vs. the HTRZ II's.  Last summer I
think Scott J. or someone else on the qlist offered a caution about the
HTRZ's while highly praising virtually all characteristics of the HTRZ II's.
I suggest checking the archives before purchasing the HTRZ's.  I'm running
16's on street and track and will likely change to 17's eventually so I'm
covered on the II's

They don't sell the HTRZ II's in 15, just in larger sizes.  They do have the
HTRZ, though.
