Re: Opinions on tires(detailed ?, so rather long)

In a note dated 3/17/97 you Allan Jones asks:

<snip><<If any lister has similar experience AND/OR knows HOW the Bridgestone
Potenza RE 71 AND/OR Dunlop Sport SP 8000 tires PERFORM/LAST/SOUND(my
order of importance BTW), please help as I am close to a crossing point.>>

The RE 71s came stock on my old Mazda 93 MX-6 V6. They really were great
except for one thing. They are very soft. My car didn't have antilock
brakes. Once, in an emergency, I locked up the brakes (at 40 mph) and from
then on....
thump, thump, thump... There were four rather large flat spots on each
tire. I had to get them all replaced.

Just my $.02.
