Eddles -

I am happy with my one-size-up-from-stock Continental Contact-Pro tires :

http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...ires-2642.html

I deliberately searched for a tyre that was rated at 51 PSI max, which is the PSI I use.

I would consider getting "two-sizes-up-from-stock" next time, but I would have to weigh that against my taller 5th gear.

Question: Do you have freeways with "rain grooves" in the road? If you do, then the "road wiggle" could become annoying. I only hit that maybe 5% of my commute, but it's not enough to bother me.
