Hi. I'm sorry I can't help you with the hitch, but I noticed your tires (at least, their tread), so if you'll pardon me going off topic....

Are they, by any chance, the new Michelin Hydrochutes? I've been interested in getting them, but haven't found anyone who has any experience with them. If they are the new Hydrochutes, I'd appreciate your observations.

Michelin (at their website) rates their properties as mostly 10 (out of 10), but only "compared to others in the same class" -- and that's the catch, as the others in that class (mostly T speed-rated), and therefore the class itself, aren't that impressive. I can't find any comparison to other higher-performance (e.g., Touring, GT, etc.) tires. So your comments would be appreciated.

Thanks.
