- Something you might check is the tread width of the same size tires.
- I bought P235/60R14 tires for my LeMans a while back. The first set
- was Goodyear Eagle GT's. Then I tried to save some money and bought
- two B.F.Goodrich Radial TA's. The TA's were about 1" narrower in
- tread width. I realize now these are two different levels of performance
- tires, especially in their lateral stability.
