i thought that 4000q's came with 195/60 HR 14's.

there are a couple of good ones that i can think of...

bridgestone re71, dunlop d40m2, pirelli p600 & p500.  stay away from
the michelin mxv.  dunno about the various yokohamas.

i prefer to have a set of sticky summer tires and a set of studded snows
for bad weather.
