Reply to "Tires for 10 ich Campies !"

Yes! You guys are right about the speed rating. I learned something new and useful again. However I‘m still of the opinion the Avons are tires that offer the best combination of looks and performance. I‘ve done extensive research and haven‘t been able to find anything better. The Pirellis may have the rating but are too small in diameter for the wheel wells. George’s chart is very useful in this regard. The BFs may have the right size but haven’t got the rating which is important in Germany for legal purposes but also for practical purposes as we have stretches of the autobahn w/o a speed limit. I‘m a purist so I’m sticking to stock rims. Even the stock XWXs are technically no longer legal as Michelin has changed their max. and min. rim size recommendations recently. Mixing different manufacturers front and back is from an esthetic point of view a definite no-no. I honestly hope some one can contradict me...
