Greetings Listees,

Not to open a kettle of fish or a can of worms..  But, I just acquired a
set of 15' rims from Fastforward.ca (mmmmm, shiny new wheels!).  I'm
wondering if anyone would like to p-mail me with recommendations for
tires.  I'm looking for something up to factory specs for load rating,
something that will improve handling over the 14's I have (especially in
crosswinds, I hate being a kite), something that will still be
functional on gravel back roads (logging roads) and something that will
not affect the speedometer reading too much.  Money, while a
consideration, is not my primary concern; I'd rather pay more for higher
quality (I'll buy cheap speakers or seat covers, but I'm not into cheap
tires..).

Again, I'm not looking to start another tire debate, please p-mail me
your opinions.

Thanks!
