I agree with Reinhard's comments. I drive a 7 pass GL, not a Westy,
but had the 195 Hankooks installed a year and a half ago (about same
time as Subie 2.2, Koni shocks and OEM alloys) - I have had no
problems with them, normal driving for us is potholed Chicago city
streets, also make several highway trips a year: ride is firm and
predictable, but not harsh or noisy at 65 - 70 mph; I might hit 80
for as long as it takes to pass someone once in a while. With gas
prices approaching $4/gal in the Chicago area, and Midwestern states
using traffic tickets as a major tax collection method, I can't
afford to drive faster than that any more, so can't comment on
performance at higher speeds!
