So, the first time I sent this I forgot to include a subject line.  I
also provided no info on what I'm running now.

Currently I have Kirkland LT 195/75R14 on the back and BFGoodrich
Commercial AT LT 195/75R14 on the back.

I have searched the archives and not really found much of any help
(maybe I'm using the wrong search terms.)

Much appreciation to any that can help me out.

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!
