Thanks everyone for the responses! Especially Oscar "I type like a boss on my phone" Solis! Oscar, you know how timid I have been about my tire choice, so I appreciate you going out of your way to give me some tips.

I guess this all underscores how there are pros and cons to any tire even within the same brand. I might have to do more homework, but I appreciate the feedback. Jim, I will put in a call with Steve if I need more temp info. Thanks!
