What you should get out is that there is a compromise involving Treadwear, Rolling Resistance, and Tracuion. You'll want to choose a tire that gives you the compromise you can be comfortable with.

Second is that larger tires give better RR - all other things being equal. That should open up a few more options for you - but sadly your speedo will be off.

All true. Heed this good advice.


Kumho makes some tires that are good and some that are crap. That's the case with virtually any tire manufacturer.

Go to Tire Rack and read the reviews. Then judge for yourself on what tire is best for you.
