MIDN,

Thank you for your insight. I went yesterday to DTC and was not impressed with the XRT's. So I'm down to:

- Yokohama HT-S
- Hankook Ventus

I was impressed by this review on the Hankooks:

"I have owned nitto tires, toyo tires and now the hankooks. The ventus has equal dry handling with the others but far superior handling in the rain. They run incredibly smooth and quiet. They seem to have much better life than the toyos, about on par with the nitto 404's. The cornering ability is the same as the toyos or nittos, about what you would expect for a performance truck tire. I would definitely recommend these tires."
