I have had great luck with the supras (kumho) on many cars. I ran them on my 88 rx7 turbo, on an 89 mr2 Supercharged, and also on an 83 rx7. They performed better, much better then expected for the price. I found they actually did rather well in the winter also (i would move the cars sometimes from garage to garage) They did wear a bit quick, but better then the dunlop sp 8000's Matt <CS> wrote in message news:iaindv43qrk8amt7na6fss52kpr8m79ah9nopsamcom... > Any tire suggestions for my 9KT?
