That's right, ST (and STR) are intended for street driven cars with common bolt-on mods. STU... I won't even get into that, it tends to take over a discussion. -- I guess now's a good time for my Pos

<major snippage> I have received word (from Discount Tire) that the AVS Intermediate has been canceled in several popular sizes. It may be that all the sizes of this tire may bite the dust. The loca

Certainly a wise choice! I could see this happening. But as popular as the tire is, I'd expect a replacement. Maybe Oz knows something? -- Loren Williams | Homepage - http://home.kscable.com/shad '94

FWIW I have heard from a very competitive ST driver that the Pilots are great when new but after several heat cycles the rubber compound gets hard and loses grip. I have Pilots for street tires on my

I'd like to see it happen, at the national level, that is. They are good drivers, they also are very good at preparing cars, and have spared little (if any) expense in doing so. I know the Allen's ha

You might not agree with it, but this WAS the original intent of the ST class. Even says so right in the rule book, it's a "recruitment and retention tool". I do NOT feel that it needs to be limited

Ron is obviously an excellent driver, I was impressed. As for his Yok's, they had less than 2/32nd of tread. All of the cars that placed below him had full-tread tires. -- Loren Williams | Homepage -

Just a clarification, the Pilots Mark and Vince were using are the "MXX3", not the "SX-GT" which is the OEM Miata Sport tire and are not quite as sticky (although they are not a half-bad race tire ei

The Pilot MXX3 is available in one 15" size but your point is still well taken. What if the best ST tire turned out to be one that is only available in one or two sizes? - Alan Dahl -- ___ ____ Alan
