Originally Posted By: Quattro Pete You might want to contact Nokian directly and ask them. FYI, I used to have the original WR. In size 195/65/15, the treadwear index was 400. hadn't thought of that. Nokian reports 500 A A for the 225/65HR17 103H size.

Anyone have these? Trying to confirm the UTQG ratings. I believe they're 500 A A, but have seen 400 A A, and other ratings posted. Specifically 225/65HR17 103H.

Originally Posted By: JoeFromPA Cderalow - I'm dissapointed in this statement. You think the SI can reach the high 150s in stock form? It's lucky to hit 140....and it takes alot more to get to 150. :) let's put it this way, redline in 5th gear is around 134 or so, and it accelerated in 6th to...

Originally Posted By: George Bynum We (for my wife) purchased a used Ford Fusion SEL, 4 cylinder automatic yesterday. I'm lucky it has almost new tires (Firestone Firehawk). I guess Ford selected the size for looks, and was stuck with all being V rated. Factory fitment, as I understand it, was...

Originally Posted By: Crashbox I stopped in at Costco again today and notice they have a smaller version of the one I purchased a while ago, for about $500, approximately 24 inches wide, and it is stainless steel too. Made by "CSPS" (IIRC) which is the same brand that I have. I was actually at...

Originally Posted By: labman If you really wanted to save lives, you would forget the speed rating [censored] and go with traction rated tires. of course, you'd probably be pretty hard pressed to find tires that aren't at least "A" rated when it comes to traction these days anyway. So you...

Originally Posted By: OVERK1LL I have to laugh, "lifted Jeep" and "Perfectly Safe" occurring in the same sentence (just buggin' ya). I know lifted and perfectly stable don't go in the same sentence often, but Jeeps tend to be ok in the rollover department, so they're still pretty safe. I had...

In my mother's world... it's because of the colors(no lie) in my world, it's mainly quality & ease of return/repairs as necessary, and most stores carry the extra batteries, chargers etc. not everyone carries makita.
