Tire fitment 90 200TQ

[Ed Kellock]

Hi Mike.
 I have those 711's in my urq and have been really happy with them. Lighter 
car and smaller 50-series tire too though. Which model of Kumho did you 
have?

 Haven't had Bridgestones for years, but this is a new model, which always 
entices me.
 Always had good experience with Dunlops too, though non directly with the 
current A2 line
