Snow tires

[Doyt W. Echelberger]

This is my second winter on Michelin Arctic Alpins, 205/65-R15.  They
solved all my winter problems here in Ohio, and I could live with them all
summer if required. Running them for a year softened them up somehow,
because they ride easier this year. When new, they gave my 87 5ktq a
harsher ride and I had to drop the pressure to about 26 psi. This year I'm
able to run 32.    Dry performance is acceptable.  If I were doing it over,
I'd pick the 60 ratio instead of the 65. I think the 60's would handle
crisper. The 65 even looks like a bigger/taller tire.
