The Bridgestones are ranked higher by autoxer's if that helps any.

same grip+less sidewall deflection= small increase in ride quality?

ha, I'm using the Kumho's for the Auto-X.....
I'll be damned if I pay $170 per tire to Auto-X...
I'd be putting these on my 18's for the few times I take her out:cssNET:

how was X-mas Tyler?

It was good. I am thinking about possibly paying around $200 for some autox tires! ;)

OP nice selection of tires.
