Coker also has some goodrich tires for around $100. The Kumhos are a good price. No idea if they're any good or not, but I do know people who have used their peformance tires without much complaint. If I decide to replace the 4 Firestones on my Fasty, I may go with them in the short term. You can't beat that price, and Kumho isn't too fly-by-night. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
