I hope this discussion will be helpful for anyone, like me, who is considering going to the "Dark Side". I have just a tad over 7.6k miles on my '07 Nomad (hey, it was a tough winter!) and my rear stock has, maybe, 1-1.5k miles left on it, the large majority of wear being in the center part of the tire (Kansas only has 11 curves), so I've been thinking about going with a car tire for my first replacement rather than the 'usual' Metzeler 880 180/70HR16 ($204) or the Dunlop Elite 3 180/70R16...
