9000CS Tire Help Again!

Jul 20, 2005 28 Replies

I'm afraid that I've perused this group for some while, and though my initial sympathies for its community makeup lay with you, I concluded some time back that, no, there's some abuse afoot--and, the routine's too ritually stated (and applied to some) to be otherwise, too. Sorry, but no cigar on that one...

I might even offer that the train of responses to my initial post--which "cherry-picked" the speed scheme for me, while consciously ignoring its meat, the help in recommending a tire--is a tactic I've seen on display before today. Perhaps I shouldn't be shocked with the "Shoo, go elsewhere" response I drew when I resisted "arrest" with the gang herein--it's, after all, just of a piece with that same "Our Gang" comedy routine, now ain't it...

I see you consistently ignoring substantive posts, too...

You'd find that your posts might gain a litle more respect if you didn't *top post * too btw.

Hey, it was related to your question ( the difficulty in getting Z rated tyres ). I answered it for you. Not good enough ?

Btw my answer was slightly wrong. The markings are now more detailed - e.g.

195/65 R 15 xx H

Where the H speed rating has moved to the end and xx is the 'load rating'. I have no idea at this time how to decode the load rating but I have 2 tyres with

88 rating and 2 with 91 on my 9000.

Any excuse you want to give...

Give that man a Cigar. Bingo. In accordance with the patriot act, all americans should vacate said groups. Failure to do so may result in a short (read indefinate) visit to Gitmo, and a life time of being followed by a chip implanted in your neck.

Just an observation on the rest of this thread: I've only been here about

6 months but I'm gobsmacked to see so many people whose opinions in different areas I've learned to respect apparently involved in some sort of international conspiracy against you. That's irony. I was born in England.

However, assuming V rating will do for a 9K CS, why not Yokohama AVS550 or C-Drive? They're presented as a silent and comfort tyre respectively. C-Drives working well so far on my Outback, albeit only over 2000Km. My 900 is running Michelin Certes which are also good on comfort but let go a bit earlier than most things I've tried in the past (P6, A509 etc)
