Re: ok - new round of tire recommendations?


> 1) XZX - bought from Costco in 2001 or so.  Good tread
> wear, good wet road grip, quiet. ($200 for a set)

	I ordered mine via... Discount Tire? in Michigan around 1997 or
so.  They were already no longer *produced* by Michelin at that time.
They only store tires for something like six or eight years, then they
throw them out.  We've past that time limit, and Michelin has officially
trashed any they had left.  (...though a listee found a set in a local
tire shop a couple of years ago!)

	I want to move to a modern, available replacement, and will retire
my XZX's to the show car.  Call them "vintage accessories" or something.

> 2) Jupiters - were on the car.  good tread wear,
> decent wet road grip, quiet
> 3) Klebers - wore a bit faster, okay on wet roads,
> quiet. (they were on the car)

	Which do you consider better: "decent" or "okay"?

> 100)  Tiger Paws -  Don't don't don't buy them  The

	Gotcha. :)

	Thanks!
