... is there some reason you must have the comfortred model?  I have the
"assurance tripletred" on #2 right now.  These were available in the
215/60-15 size although they are "TR" as opposed to "VR" rated.  The
GoodYear site indicates that there are no applications for the V8 ...
but I suspect that is due to the "VR" requirement.  

My overall impressions of the GoodYear ... they seem to be pretty
capable tires ... haven't had any bad weather action yet ... 

If you are sold on the "comfortred" ... what year car do you have?  If
you don't have 15x7.5 wheels you might be able to go with the 205x60
size ... but you will affect your speedo readings slightly ... if you
want to go with different rims ... it will all depend on whether or not
you still have the UFOs ...
