New Rear Tire: Michelin Premier A/S 205/60R15 91H on

[Jim&Teresa]

I have been trying several rear tires over the years on our RT. Yesterday, I installed a Michelin Premier A/S 205/60R15 91H on our RT as I have heard good reviews from our fellow Spyder Ryders here. So going to give it a try! Our RT has 38,745 miles on it.

Here's a brief recap of rear tires on our 2014 RTL:

New: OEM Kenda - should have changed it out at 6,000 miles, it basically was a slick tire when changed at 7,931 miles

7,931 miles: Kumho Ecsta AST 225/50R15 (total miles: 14,000) good tire, was a little "slippery" when roads were wet, especially near end of its life

21,913 miles: General Altimax RT43 215/60R15 (total miles: 16,832) best tire so far, worked well, maybe could have got 2000-4000 more miles - changed out due to concern about hydroplaning when tread depth was getting low.

38,745 miles: Michelin Premier A/S 205/60R15 91H on (total miles: time will tell) friends had mention this has excellent "wet grip" for handling in the rain..
