Got these used oversized Mastercraft Strategy 205x65x15 inch tires (replacing standard 175x65x14 inch tires) to perfectly fit & fill my small Hyundai Accent's front wheel wells, & lower Accent manual transmission rpms on the highway by 300. The Strategy's are excellently smooth, quiet, & point straight, yet turn corners well.The big boots handle rough roads & bumps better & steering is more precise. The Accent now feels that it belongs on the highway, even tho MPG has gone up! Only had them < 3000 miles, so tire life is undetermined. Had a set of Mastercraft 440's that did reach their advertised tire life & worked OK.
