Re: Tire recommendation for all seasons?
I have the Michelin's and 4.10s the speedo is accurate to a couple of kms at any legal driving speeds I can do. Compared to the reading on my GPS anyway...

Re: Tire recommendation for all seasons?
Forgot to mention that the accuracy is also with using the green correction gear from Marc

Thanks for the info and I also sent an email to Marc to see what his thoughts are with the speedo correction gear and his testing if any with the different tire sizes. I want to play it safe staying with the 315s since there is testing involved and at stake with the government here, but the 335s sound nice and so does the Michelin PS2s.

Re: Tire recommendation for all seasons?
Thanks Dave and I hope so too. It cost over $2300 US for each test if I fail.
Another member recommended these and I'm very interested in these too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyWMT...e_gdata_player I am waiting to hear back from the seller about shipping cost and size availability.
