Any opinions? Any personal experiences to share? I am trying a set of BFG Touring TA in 195/60/15. I used to run P600s but I thought I would try something that lasted longer. They were $72 a tire out the door at Merchant's. They are smoother and do not give up anything in wet or dry handling to the P600s. I have not really tested them in snow yet, but the tread does not look like it would handle snow. I still have a set of Pirelli Winter 190s on rims for the snow. A garage, service jacks and an air wrench make changing tires really easy.
