Looks good but how are they different from any other 205/70?

Well, the Touring TA`s I`ve used don`t handle for beans. But the 205/65`s were pretty good. I`m still going to run them if I get another Bug. It`s all about the look right?

I'd look around at more different tire treads. You may find that different tire manufacturers measure their tires in different areas of the tire tread (edge from tiretread to sidewall).  So in otherwords a 207/70/15 from one company may have a wider footprint than another depending on where they put thier tape measure.

I have a set of Dunlop SP8000 205/55/16 and the tire's footprint is smaller than my Yokohama AVS sport 225/50/16 by just a little. I've compared other 205/55/16 tire treads to other a similar yokohama tire with same tire size and the dunlop is definitely larger without a question.

read up on tire reviews that compare other brands. Treadwear is probably very high but oddly enough there are reports that this sometimes does NOT dictate to traction performance.

I'd look around.
