I finally got totally sick of the Sumitomo HTR 200's for being nothing but greasy and generally a loose ride.
May put them on another set of rims and keep them around for a while. Anyone like the ES100's from Yokohama? I did not want to go with 50 series. Thanks! John |

I know there are lots of things to consider, and this is a SECOND set of rims and tires, but I put on the Yoko's today and took turns much harder on the way home than I ever did before.
The tires make the car sit maybe 1/2" higher, do not touch the wheel wells and they don't squeal around a really tight turn at high speed. Tom, I have the speedo disconnected till I get my new angle drive in the mail, as McMark said my old one was BUSTED. Dope that I am, I had no idea! His second o ring worked perfectly. No Swepco on the floor at all! Woohoo! The Yoko's are better than I hoped for. I am considering another set of new tires but 50 series on a set of EMPI's I hope to buy from Bruce Stone tomorrow. He has to see if he can make it happen. Will take them and powdercoat insets semigloss black next week. Hope they look nice. Thinking of a set of Kumho Ecsta 205/50's OR the Dunlop Or the Falken Love the Yoko's for driving. Just want to decide on an AX tire. Thanks all! John |
