SZ50 ep is the firehawk im talkign bout, looks just like an indy rain tire........ | They look damn good but unfortunately they discriminate against sport compacts as they only come in 245 and 275 widths  | |

Quite honestly the worst "ultra high perfromance" tire ive driven on next to the old comp ta zr's. | Well, the difference in tread betwen the existing ones and the Kumho's might have had an impact, expecially with 245's. I try to stay around 195-205's and the compound worked pretty well. | |

Damn dude. you know your tires. BTW, what is up with you and the Saturn boards. I don;t mind of course, just wondering. Do you own a Saturn too or are you friends with people here or are you just trying to offer a perspective from the other end of the auto performance world?  | |
