the recent threads about tires got me thinking ...
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) i will continue to drive my car on the street, so for now i'm looking for DOT-approved tires only. 1) Kuhmo's + the ECSTA V710 have a UTQG of 30 C/A + they only weight 18 lbs each - they do NOT come in 225 size, only 205 2) Yokohama's + the A032R comes in 225 size - they have a UTQG of 60 A/A - they weight 22.84 lbs each sooo, the question is, should i go smaller (205) but have a better UTQG or should i go wider (225) with a lower UTQG ??? or should i consider a completely different brand? anyone?

surface area X the stickeyness = ?
You would have to research how they came up with the UTQG rating What's the difference in $ and one is 20% lighter |
