[Shotimes] Tire Recomendations

[Donald Mallinson]

for a summer only tire that is superb in the wet and dry, try the 
Yokohama ES100.  About $100 per tire, and great for track days.  I have 
maybe 8000 or more miles on mine on my '96 V8 SHO and they are quiet and 
wearing well.  My son is using them on his '95 ATX and he loves them for 
street and track.  Of course here in Illinois, they are all on a rack 
waiting for the snow and ice to be over with so we can put them on again!
