For your Tirerack inquiries, seems like there's someone on the list (sorry I
forgot his name) who might could help you.
If I had the money, I would have race tires for street use. My RE71's were
worn out in 8k miles, so I wonder if R tires could get me more mileage than
that. I'm currently on 10k almost on cords. I probably could have gotten
12k had my alignment been less agressive or changed after every autox.
I might just try the AVSi's and baby them when I'm not autox'ing. But I'm
still torn as well. Anyone else have any good or bad comments about the
AVSi's and Kumho 712's?
