I've never really shopped for tires before... it seems rather difficult when there are a billion sizes available, and there's no real way to compare except to read reviews on every tire and try to get a "feel" for it.

It seems easier to start with a list of highly rated LRR tires, and then check to see what's available in an appropriate size. Anyone know of any such lists?

EDIT: An old thread here says to get the B381's:

However that was in 2008, I'm not sure if it still applies.
