Tim,
   My friend and I looked at these Goodrich tires rcently.
He bought a set of the Euro 60H's; I'm probably buying some
later.
   They are both excellent tires: they beat most of the
other tires in their class.
   However, my friend had problems with undersized rims and
I highly recomment not putting those fat tires on your small
rims.
   The 60H's wear better than the Comp's. For the price
difference you only get a maginal amount of improvement for
the Comp's.
   Note: Michelin has a new tire which outperforms the
Comp's!
