Tire recommendations?

[David.Ullrich at ferguson.com]

About 2 months ago, my Coupe GT needed some new shoes. I thought long and hard about getting Dunlop SP A2s since I wanted a high performance tire with all season capabilities. But a new tire that had just came out peaked my interest. It's the Kumho HP4 716. I decided to give them a try, and couldn't be happier. Grippy in dry and wet (haven't had any snow yet since getting them), quiet, smooth and should last quite a while (UTQG: 360 AA). Plus, the price was right, $54 each including mount, balance, and disposal of old tires. Check them out for yourself:

Sure, they aren't as sporty as a true 3 season tire, but they are plenty sporty for most people...

Hello Audi Fans,
	Spring is almost here and I'm ready to look for summer tires to
replace my winter Hakkepellita 10 studded snow tires with nice summer
tires. My old ones are too squirmy. I'd appreciate hearing reports from
owners who like their summer tires because they are quiet and provide a
good tight handling feel. I have an 88 5KCSTQ, a beautiful car!
