    Good luck. My Djet came with these (155/80-15). I removed them as soon as I could. Sloppy handling response & poor wet grip were my objections. ...

    I wouldn't fit Xas or XVS Michelins. Nor would I fit the faux-XVS Retro tyres made by Nankang. To reprint an earlier post on the topic: "The...
