<< anyone have any recommendations for a good replacement tyre for the p700z?
 much as i'd like them (better than the re71's on my old '85 ur-q, and when
warm
 a formidable combination) and would like to continue with them on the ur-q,
they
 are hard to find and extremely expensive.  has anyone had any experience of 
 the a008 vs the dunlop sp8000 vs the newer pirelli's?

Dave,
I ran the SP8000 for 3 years and multiple track events (5ktqRS2), and found
them to be just downright awesome, and I put some serious hard miles on
them...  I am pretty anal about tire pressure cks weekly, and they are
finally out of tread, tho a friend is keeping them for track events....  You
won't be dissappointed in that tire, street or track....  They do suck in
snow...  I plan on a set for my urq, 225/50 on 16X8's in the spring....
