[Autox-ers, this is a reply to an article in which a Yoko rep is quoted
as claiming that A001Rs are faster for autox than A008Rs, because the
1s are 'rain road-race tires with a low operating temp of 120 - 140',
and 8Rs want 180 - 200, which is difficult to generate on an autox course.]

Well, mutter. I've just decided to shell out for some real race rubber.
I was ready to buy 8Rs, and now I have to wonder. I'm campaigning a
TR-4A in ES. I'll soon have a set of 5x15 wheels, aching to have new
tires mounted on them. I'm open to any and all suggestions about what
brand, model and size to buy...

Waiting for the deluge,
chris
