It comes down to assessing what you are using your vehicle for, your personal preferences, and what you are will to give up a little to improve the areas most important to you. For that you need to ask the right questions and get the right answers.
Spot on. Advice from someone like Bob or others on here who have used many different tires and aren't fan boys that think the one I have is the best, is a far better place to get info than the generic sites. These sites are lawyer proofed and don't represent a balanced perspective.
