[TR] Still more on tires

[P Caffrey]

I can attest to the quality of the Yokohama AVID.  It's the only tire I use on
my commuter car, which is not a TR.  The tire is relatively soft and pliable,
corners well, and really limits hydroplaning (the latter, not so important for
TR owners, I suppose).

TireRack lists 35 tires in 205/70-15; 36 in 215/70-15.

I don't fit that category, but I've had good luck with Yokohama AVID
tires
before.  If I were you, I'd probably try the new AVID Touring-S in 215/70;
which TireRack has listed for only $60/tire.

Of course you'll need to add S&H, mounting and balancing to that price
when
comparing to local tire sources.  But that will likely still be a good price
compared to, say, the Goodyears that my local Wal-Mart stocks at $95/tire
plus tax.
