Re: Tire Impressions S80 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be Peter O on  Tue Nov 27 02:38 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Not having a T-6 my searches showed the MXV4 as a viable option. My V4's are are also H rated and I think minimum V rated tires are called for in the case of a T-6. I also did my search looking for Grand Touring all season and not just performance when I was surfing Michelin, Discount Tire and the Tire Rack. The difference in the ride may be due to a softer or more flexible sidewall in the V4's than in the Pilots and thus the recommendation for them in a more performance oriented model of the car. In that I have only taken my S80 over 100 once and then on a long straight and narrow section of interstate, I feel comfortable with H rating, which is what my OEM pilots were anyway. Were I driving hard and twisting and turning a lot at speed I'd have probably stuck with the Pilots.

As to the question about tire pressure on the XV4's I am running 29 cold per Michelin, all the way around. I think I ran my Pilots at 32 as I recall.
