[Vwdiesel] [Audi-VW-Diesels] Tires!

[gary]

I'll chime in here...

I recently got 195/60-14's (the correct specified size) Sumitomo H-4 for 
my Passat TDI during a Sears sale.

My old tires were 205/60-14 (Not specified) Goodrich T/A's.

Don't handle nearly as well, but quieter, smoother ride. Hadn't seen any 
change in fuel use. These new one's are listed for 53psi, where the 
older T/A's are listed for 44psi. So far they are wearing well. Time 
will tell.
