A while bak I saw a Michelin Tire that works in the rear of the RT. I can't remember the size. Anyone remember? Thanks, and

Ride in comfort,

I put the Michelin Hydroedge 215/60R15 on mine. You can still get it from sams club. It's a 90k mile tire. I just love it so far. I've put 1500miles on it and it has been great. Similar tread pattern to the OEM tire.

Got mine from Costco Monday and my dealer put it on today. will report further. 9600 mi out of stock tire, hope to get a few more mi out of this one. The wear indicators are WAY deeper on this one too! thinking these are made to actually LAST.

Has anybody who's running this 215 width tire noticed any loss of traction versus the wider 225 OEM?

I haven't noticed anything different. I've only put about 1500 miles on it but no difference I can tell.

Bob, the difference in effective width is, is, is, I think the term would be infitessimal (probably spelled wrong), how about so tiny as to not be noticable. The specific rubber compound would have more to do with the traction than the width here.........IMHO,......Mike

Nope, I put the Michelin HydroEdge on prior to my ride to Durango (4k miles) and SpyderFest (3k miles) & have had problems at all.
