I have a decision to make that I never thought I would have a problem
making. For the last couple of years I have been running Hoosiers, I would
not consider going to a big event without new tires to run on. (even though
most of the time I did not have a prayer, just ego) This year I started
running on Kumhos & they are agreeing with the car. My dilemma is that out
of habit, I have a backup set of tires mounted and ready to go for this
weekend. The set that I have on the car are (guessing of course) 50% - 70%
good. (since they are my first set, I am not quite sure when they will
start going away). If they where on the same set of rims I would not think
twice about running the new ones, but they are on my second set which is
about 4 lbs. heavier each than the stock rims. Would I gain anything on the
new Kumhos? Even with the weight difference? I changed to the Kumhos since
they seem to have a longer useful tire life, I am just wondering if they
still go away after time?
Does anyone know what the Kumho sticker requirements are for their
contingencies? (once again, not a prayer, I just need to help identify
which of the many red rx-7s is mine, boy I glad they make us put numbers on
them. ;-) )
Thanks in Advance & See ya in Texas,
