[Frank "SHOrage" Costa]

I was curious on those tires myself, the AVS dBs2's....they look like a good 
tire. I would probably go with stock size with maybe a lower profile. Like 
55s.

I currently have Bridgstone HP50s and they suck. They stick really well, but 
they corner like S&$T. Either that or i am expecting too much out of it. I 
was happy with BFGoodrich COMP T/As but i think they arent sold anymore. I 
cant find em anywhere.

I know most people dont like it, but i would have the white lettering facing 
out. Anybody know of a good tire with white lettering for our cars?

I have slicers on an 89.
