[Shotimes] 235x45x17 tires

[Kirk Doucette]

Humm.. OK my bad

I still like the directional Kumhos, performed great at black hawk, and
worked even better in the rain at Watkins Glen, and Summit point. The Same
Yellow Cobra that I was chaseing at Black hawk, I was chaseing on Summit
(remember the chicane)? (turn 3) ... Well Terry's boyfriend found out how
good the Kumhos on my car stuck, until he got spooked and spun out, a lot of
cars spun out that day at Summit, it was a scary day for a lot of people, I
was chasseing down a WRX too going into turn 5 (the HARD left on concrete)
well he turned the wheel and went straight across to turn 7.

I got a pic of me dusting by 2 Z06's in the rain, until one spun out :)

Scott had AVS DB 2s, the all-season tires.

Kumho 712's if you like a good grippy tire rain or shine. They are the
equivalent to the Firestone Firehawk sz50ep, for 1/3rd the cost. Plus they
wont rip apart like Scott Krittmyers's es100's did at black hawk.

So, to change the subject (a little) in 225/55-16 size the Kumho712s are $75
each, the Yoko ES100s are $87 each, the Sumitomo HTR Z are $79 each.

Any votes for which way to go?  I need to replace the very worn out Dunlop
SP8000's on my slicers.
