Tire Recommendations

[NiftySVX]

I have had alot of tires on my SVX, but by far my favorite have ben the bridgestone turanza LS-Vs. They don't make these anymore, so I know that doesn't help. My next set of tires will be the Continental DWS in 225/45/17. These tires should be an excellent all around tire, and the step down in ratio and increse in wheel size should reduce the sidewall flex found with most of the less agressive HP all seasons. I think the conti is available in stock size. I also have Contiprocontacts on my IS 300 which are a good tire and I think they come in 225/50/16 as well.

Also, as a side note, I had the problem of a dead battery after two weeks on my 92, but not on my 94. The 92 had twice the parasitic draw as the 94, something like 82mA or so, which is very high. I always had a battery tender on them which made it a non issue.
