Current Tire: Bridgestone 195-70-14 (originals). Problem I've always had was poor rear traction in rain/snow. I am now getting a bad shimmy which my alignment Guy says is due to the worn tires(layer separation). To improve rear traction, would like to go with next size i.e. 205-70-14. The tires whose price I'm warming-up to is Michelins XVS 205-70-14 at $105 ea. Any comments/recommendation are most welcomed. Ernie Arias AT&T Info Sys.
