[s-cars] wheel / tire weights

[Douglas Landaeta]

I like quiet tires as well. How do the T-1s's compare? good looking tread
pattern - must be awesome in the rain!

What about the Firestone Firehawk SZ50 EP's?
Anyone had experience with these tires? They seem
comparable to the T-1S's but less expensive.
