The current tires are 10mm wider than stock, and are a sticky ultra high performance summer compound - they're goopy enough that rocks and pebbles just stick into the tire, not just between tread blocks. I was thinking of dialing them back to the stock width, and maybe back to "high performance summer". They still have a lot of life left, however.

As for towing... probably not much? I was towing much heavier loads in the Insight, with 165 width RE92s.
