I'm on 200/580R15, A46D is the slick and A22W is the wet. I don't think there is a further choice of compounds.

Same here for the M, 200/580R15 A46D 720
........dont know what it all means.

Would be interested to find out what maximum presssures and temps the tyres should be seeing though, and a guide to reduction in pressure vs reduction in temperature (if such a relationship corilation exists as a rule of thumb)
