[Shotimes] Cheap tires for a 91 SHO

[Ron Porter]

Again, as in the previous post, I would not attribute that to being made in
the USA. And I am not a "Buy American" booster by any means, it's that I
feel that foreign companies can maintain their quality across the ocean, and
American companies can build crap anywhere they have a factory.

FWIW, I had those tires on my '95, and I thought they sucked, also. I did
Summit Point with them, and it was a good thing that the old '95 was a dog
in the power department, because those tires were my limiting factor by
far......unlike the lack of power that thought would be the issue. The
Firestone Firehawk GTA 02s that I picked up after the Convention would have
been much better on the track.

I have one ContiTouring Contact CH95 that has a pronounced hop in the
tread.  Made in the USA.  I can't recommend this tire.  I've heard others
badmouth this tire.
