So do they have 205/xx-14's in stock now?  When I tried to buy 'em a
couple weekes ago nobody had 'em.  When I talked to Jean K. at Peru last
weekend, nobody had 'em.

I'd definately have tried them, but I couldn't buy 'em.  So I ended up
getting G-Forces, which seem to work quite well.  They aren't wearing like
iron, but they aren't gettuing super detroyed either.  The fronts have 15
runs on asphalt and 12 runs and 12 practice starts on concrete.  The
fronts don't have any holographic tread and the F1 grooves are mighty
shallow, but no cord.  Should get at least one more weekend outta 'em.

Not horrifically great life, but the rears don't wear and my per event
tire bill is less than $100, which I'm willing to pay for the performance
and the fact that I can buy the damn things, as opposed to the 205 Kumhos.

Mark
