Subject:New tires and wheels

Just recently put on new tires and wheels. I haven't had much road time on them so I can't say too much about them. Oh, yes, they are 215/70-15 Yokohama Geloander ATS. I dithered for a long time over tire choice for my 15" alloys, I ended up with a load rating (98) lower than I would like but the choices in all terrain tires are very limited here in the over all wheel size I wanted ( ie I didn't want to go as large as 215/75).

Anyhow, the limited driving I have done on them has me happy. Much, much nicer than my stalwart old Michelin Agilis 81 185/80-14 that I haven been using as a summer tire. We all know the pros and cons of the Agilis, but boy they wore like iron and recently really felt like they were made from iron.

The most recent two entries on my blog has the story.
