Steve,

In the Tire Rack ads the 195/55 size is only available in Z-rated
tires ($$$).  Is this size available on a more reasonably-priced
H-rated tire?  I'm interested in the wider rubber plus shorter,
stiffer sidewall.  On the other hand, I'm not sure there's going 
to be a huge difference for street driving between 185/60, 195/60,
and 195/55.  

Anyone else have any comments w/ regard to tire size?  Is there 
better selection available in 15-inch tires?

Another question: What's the difference between the Dunlop D60 M2
and D60 A2?  I see ads for both.
