[V8] tire musings

[Ed Kellock]

Roger has explained his all-season preference more than once and I tailor my
responses to him accordingly.  I too use winter and summer tires, though I'm
going with less agressive summer, sometimes all-seasons, for comfort.

The stock tire on a V8Q has an "H" rating, hence the sticker on the dash
that states you are not to exceed 130mph. A "V" speed rating will go to
149mph.

I've also had great luck with Kumho's, and General's. I run snows and
summers, "All-season" tires are too much of a comprimise for me.

However, I did just put the General UHP's on my aunt's HHR, and she has been
quite happy with them. She says they are quieter and handle the water
(Houston, lots of rain) much better than the factory tires (goodyears) even
when new.
