FW: [Shotimes] Tire load rating

[Paul Chapin]

I have the Kumho 712's on my TA and will probably buy them again ($387
mounted and balanced is hard to beat). They are not the tire I would buy
if I were doing open track events but they will do everything I will
ever ask of them on the street. I just spent some time in Alabama and
they work just fine in 22 degree weather.

I just can not justify spending hundreds more for tires that are only
going to out perform the 712's when pushed to the limits. The 712's are
the quietest tires I have ever owned. I only know one person who has
worn out a set and they had 30k on them when they reached the wear bars.

I guess I should have stated "cheapest" Summer only ultra-Performance
for
Florida!  I'm not expecting an awesome tire here, just something to hold
me
over for a short time that's equal or better than the NT450 greasy tire
I
have now.  I'm not sure what I'm going to be doing with the SHO past
this
upcoming year so I'm not going to invest too much in wear items like
tires.
