Re: Tires [S8 and other questions]

["Dave Aukerman" <mhauk@ccsdana.net>]

True, this "dual--drive" mode makes it interesting.  However, gotta agree
with my big bro here.  Having driven both cars (89 200tqw), with nearly
identical suspension (mines actually a bit stiffer) the tires make an
amazing difference.  The D60's(mine), while a real nice tire tend to have a
mushy feel when taken to the twistys.  The SP8000(his), just flat connects
the car to the road in a way that makes you grin from e-to-e.  This, with
the same ride quality.

Really, it should be "no-season".  I have driven on many "all-season" tires
and, frankly, I understand the purchase only due to cost and maybe for your
mom's dodge.
