Karl:
I bought 4 BF Goodrich Touring tires, 205-70 15 for about $55 ea. I
really
like the size since they fill out the wheel wells but have no clearance
problems. Have received many comments on how great they look. Alot of
rubber
on the road and really improved handling. By the way, I have one of the
original Michelin Red Lines 185s as my spare.
