High perfmance street tires

[LL - NY]

Not a long lasting tire, but BOY they were awesome. They were
the last street tire I had on my GTi prior to it's untimely demise
by the falling tree. In street driving, they made me feel as if I had
the R-rubber on (NOT, but feel is important) and made the car
so confident in it's grip that I would be able to play with the various
911's and 3-series up and down the hills of NY 9W north of Bear
Mtn and piss 'em off!  To be honest, even the Eagle F1 GSD3 I have
on the Saabaru don't seem to have that level of confidence...

And I'm sure, by the numbers they probably shame the old RE71.

Ah, such memories....
