Tires for the '87 Audi 5KCSTQ

[David Balbirona]

Hey everyone,

I just picked up a nail in the tread and through the sidewall of one of my 
Dunlop SP5000s.  They are a bit older and have between 4/32" and 5/32" tread 
left on the remaining tires.  Thus begins the search for some replacement 
tires.

I checked the Tire Rack site and found that the "best seller" for this model 
Audi are the Kumho ECSTA HP4 716 tires.  Also recommended are the 
Bridgestone Turanzas from Tire Rack.  Any opinions on these?

The local Sears has the Kumhos available on site.  The cost between them and 
TireRack after tax, shipping, mount & balance is a wash.  Has anybody on the 
list eve run the Kumho ECSTA HP4 716 tires?  If so, what did you think?

Lastly, does anyone have any input on the Bridgestone HP 50 tires?  They run 
about $8 more per tire on the current sale that I can get to.

Thanks in advance.
