A tire is a series of compromises in the shape of a donut.
What are you looking for in a tire? Quiet? Dry grip? Wet grip? Soft ride? Low rolling resistance? Snow grip? Durability? All of those things are trade-offs. You have to figure out what set of compromises you can live with. --DD |

Just looking for a good sticky road tire . Won't be driving in the rain, it's not a daily driver. Just wondered if a little lower profile looked good . Thanks for the help |
