re. Tires for the '87 Audi 5KCSTQ

[Ben Swann]

Good cheap tires and I have run them on two 4kqs  one lowered and one stock.
No complaints, handle fine and good traction in all conditions.  Michelin
Pilot XGTs they are not, but for the money hard to beat.

Hey everyone,

<snip>.  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?
