Re: Favorite 14" tires that are good in rain?

["Christian Els" <tiAn@usiw.net>]

Kumho Ecsta 712's are phenomenal in the rain, but have yet to be introduced
in 14" sizes in America. They are out in some 15" sizes, not sure whether
195/50 is one of them. Kumho has been flirting with bringing more small
sizes into the country, they will go on my Scirocco and my Cabby if
185/60R14's (or 195/55's) show up.

I have a set in 225/50R16 on my other car, these things rock. Even if I only
get 25K out of them, they are well worth it for the traction, wet or dry,
and the price. They aren't quite Michelin Pilot's, but at less than half
price they are 95% as good. Works for me.

Cheers,

Christian
87 16V

> I need  a new set of tires for my 16v car, and I'm going to either have
them mounted on my 15" Fittipaldi Monolithics, or just mount them on the
standard tear drops since pothole damage is inevitable. Who is using what on
their car? I live in maryland,

think?
