RE: Tire time

["Bruce Bell" <bbell04@ibm.net>]

This was obvious to me last summer when Michael and I drove each others cars
back to back on the track at Pueblo. Mine car was shod with the RE-71 in 50
series, his had 55 series SP-8000. No contest the SP-8000 wins hands down.

I had the same discussion with the 'tire guy' about the
RE71s. "Good tire in its day, tire technology overtook
it."
