RE: quick tire survey

[Jared Erlandson <jerlandson@wac.net>]

I'm with Aaron.  I have used the Yok A509's and was impressed in dry
weather. But  I live in Seattle, so they just didn't cut the wet. I now
have the Potenza RE71's (discontinued but Tire Rack has a ton of em)
which are in my opinion just as good dry as the A509's but 100% better
wet.  I like the RE71's quite a bit.
