Re: which tires are best? 200 1985

Kevin --

I've put Yokos on mother's (now brother's) '89 244, and they have about 30k on them -- and look new.

I have Avids on my '86 245...... they have about 55k on them and look about 1/2 worn. They're still smooth riding, balanced, and sure-footed even in the rain.

I put Avids on daughter's VW Golf last winter, but they only have about 3k on them. They're infinitely better than the Michelins I took off -- but in fairness, the Michelins had about 65k on them.

I have never rebalanced any of the Yokos. Every season, when I remove the snows, I swap the front tires for rears, but never right for left.

Don't forget that dealing with Tirerack.com means you pay shipping plus full mounting 'n balancing costs. I think I've bought 5 or 6 full sets from them and been happy every time.
