        I loved my RE71s (OEM tire for '91 MR2), but they are no longer made in
14" :-(  Great in summer (better than Yokohama AVS-i), and I even made it
through 3 North West Ohio winters on them...  Not so good in the wet,
gotta treat rain almost like snow.  Great wear, rears laster 55,000
miles, fronts lasted  70,000 until a bad alignment (1/2" toe out) ate
them.  :-(
