Tire time, yecch!

[Chander Balakrishnan]

I have had Pirelli P400's on my 87 5kcsq for 2 years now.  Quiet and quite
responsive.  Very cheap.

I installed Nokian NRW's on my 90 200 tqw 3 months ago.  We went on a long
trip from Chicago to Brattleboro, VT and back a month ago, and the tires
were fantastic.  The traction in the snow in VT was far better than I
experienced last year when I had BFG Comp-TA HR4 tires.  The tires are also
quite quiet.

While in VT, I took a morning off to visit Chris Semple @ Concord.  I wish I
could have spent more time there, but wife was sitting in the car with a
book and giving me dirty looks. BAd mistake, taking wife to Chris' place !!

I just replaced my OEM ContiTouringContact CH95s with Toyo 205 55 R16 Toyo
Proxes TPT 94H for $367.40 (Tires, Balance, Valve Stems, MD Environmental
Fee) plus a 4 wheel alignment for $78.00 at 45,600 miles on my 99A6Q.  Toyo
offers a 65,000 mile treadwear limited warranty.

The new tires seem to grip a little better and seem to be quieter.  Time
will
tell.
