RE: CONTI CH95?

["McIntyre, Richard" <mcintyre@wsbs-mses.eng.pko.dec.com>]

I have found the stock CH95s to be a surprising good snow tire
(195/65 on an A6Q).  I have no complaints about them in normal
weather conditions.  They are a touring tire, so you can't expect them
to deliver the high-performance handling that you would get in a more
costly performance tire.  I will soon see how the 205/55s perform in
the snow.
