I'm sure there was a fav tire poll right here in General. Where TF everything went is beyond me.

Power 2ct were a top choice if I recall that thread. Bridgestone BTO-16s were also about equal in popularity. BTO-16's are all I have used. I came close to trying the Power2's last time but I liked the BTO-16 so much I didn't want to chance not liking a new tire. The 16's are 10x nicer than the stock tires. have triple compound rear and double compound front. Also--do try the 190-55 height instead of the stock 190-50. Guarenty you will love it if you like to corner. Corrects speedo on the 14.

^^That'd be how i would go for high mileage tire if you don't need the sticky multi compound. Storms have a beautiful tread pattern too. A real appearance enhancement.
