Was wondering if anyone can give me some insight on how car manufacturer's decide what tire they are going to put on a particular vehicle?
I'm getting ready to replace my tires again and I've been trying to educate myself a little more in this area. Been cruising the board seeing feedback on various tires. My 94 originally came equipped with Goodyear Z-rated tires, which seemed nice, but unfortunately I had a lot of flats with those since those tires seem to pick-up everything. I think it was a little overkill anyway putting z-rated tires. I replaced them with H-rated touring tires, Firestone, and I've had good success with them, though they don't grab wet pavement well when you punch it from a stop. I'm thinking about going back to a Goodyear tire and maybe a V-rated tire. Not sure what size I want to go with. I still have stock rims.
