Hey Preacher , you saw it in my garage when you came over , its that Dutch made tire called I think the Viederstain ... I looked up on Flea -Bay under 205-60-16 and this tire popped up ... It was $100 and free shipping  , come on over again and look at it in the day-lite ... Thanks the Geezer  |

Yes I am (excuse me for the mis-spelling) , I bought one on Flea Bay and looking forward to replacing my Michelin and trying out this Dutch Tire .... Mr. Burnout (Curtis ) & SuperValk ( Damian) both just mounted these tires and really like them ... Thanks the Geezer |

Was never a big fan of car tires until I rode Mr Burnouts right after he installed the Vreidestein on his I/S--now I am sold. Never thought I would say this but I cant wait until my new Avon Venom-R wears out!

MRIDER.... I am running the General Altimax 205/60R16 on my IS and had to do the nut cage mod.. I know others have not had to but I would recommend doing that just in case. Would save you from having to pull the wheel twice.
The mod can be done with the wheel on, but it's a real pain to do it that way.
I guess if you went with a narrower tire you wouldn't need the nut cage mod.
