[Shotimes] tire question

[Ian Fisher]

Ok, I'll try to be better. I haven't read the entire thread (just
skimmed it), but what do you want from a tire? Do you have a stock
suspension or higher damping struts and stiffer springs?

Funny - but not very helpful :-)

I just went to Les Schwab and they showed me an Ohtsu Zexius XI-326 in a
225/55R-16.  This is after I had pretty much decided to go with the Toyo
FZ4.  The Ohtsu is considerably less expensive $120/ea installed.

Any comments about this tire?

Thanks!

Out of Toyo's, I've only tried the Proxies. They were
really nice..  If I would spend the money again, I
would get those.  A lot of steering response and you
could feel the road.  But it's not harsh either.
