Ken,
The Radial T/A falls into that 'Sport Touring' category with the P6000 and the
CH90.
The Comp T/A is going to be a much better tire for cornering power. The Radial
T/A
will be quieter on the highway. (Doesn't matter if you have a Monza - Wow!
Cross-thread commentary! ;-) The Radial T/A will also wear better and has a
more
conservative looking tread pattern. In order of maximum wear and comfort to
maximum
performance capability, I would rank the BFG's as:
Radial T/A
Comp T/A HR4
Comp T/A VR4
Comp T/A ZR
Comp T/A g-force KD
Comp T/A R-1
Keep in mind that the higher performance tires won't be available in smaller
sizes
like the 185-60/14. Generally, you'll only find the hi-po tires in 16" or 17"
rim
sizes. One tire that was not mentioned before is the Dunlop D60 A2. This is a
nice
tire on par with the Comp T/A HR/VR series that is available in the the
185-60/14
size. That would be a good bet that you really might want to consider.
Good luck!
