[Shotimes] Tire Recomendations

[Bob]

I have those tires on my Mustang in a 16x225.  They do very well in the rain
and have decent lateral grip for an inexpensive tire, but I don't expect
that grip to remain as the tire wears.  They don't break away gently when
driving at the limit, but I've noticed that with other inexpensive tires,
too.  I have and like the Potenzas (RE-701) on the SHO.
