OK, tire time.....(LAC)

[Russ Maki]

I liked the original D60A2s (on a '95 Mazda Millenia), detested the ones I
put on my '82 Mercedes 300cd in March 2000. They lasted 18,000 miles.
Perhaps it was the 70 series profile that made them worthless.

I've got Bridgestones on that car now -- Turanza Revo H. Great rain tire!
They're available Z rated as well, I believe.

I had Bridgestone Potenza RE910 tires on my 4000 and found them quite worthy
in snow. They're only T rated, but were more than ok in the dry on plus-one
wheels. I took them off the car and saved them after 30,000 miles -- lots of
tread left.
