Replacement Tires

["Al Powell" <APOWELL@agcom.tamu.edu>]

Re: replacements for the Goodyear's on your wife's 100 CS.  I have 
replaced Goodyears (NCT's) on an '84 5KT and a 1990 200 (GA's) 
with BF Goodrich Comp TA's in the H-rated series.  They cost about 2/3 of what the 
Goodyears did (Like about $84 per corner!) and I consider them
superior in these respects:

1)  Smoother ride
2)  Better in the wet, just as good in the dry
3)  Equal handling capability
4)  Tires last much longer

You say the car is not usually driven in a performance-oriented 
manner.  My opinion: kiss off the Goodyears and go with the BFG's.  
They are well-suited to the Audi suspension, cost less and will 
perform better for your application.
