i have pony wheels on my 89 LX, and i need some new tires, i use the car as a daily driver, but i want something that is gonna hook up good, but still give me pretty good traction on wet roads. Can you guys give me some feedback on what you think. Thanks,

Brent

I forgot to mention the Dunlops on my jeep. They 'hook' in the wet, too.

I just put some 275 Kumhos 712's on my car, and suprizingly they hook pretty good for being such a cheep tire. I'm going to the track tonite (if the rain holds off) and well see how they do out there.

See sig. My motor is stock and 99% of the time, they hold when under 3/4 to full throttle accelerating in 2nd gear. No s@#$. On dry stuff, they stick like glue. Also , have gotten great tread wear so far. 108 a piece with free shipping from discountiredirect.com. Oh, and they look awsome. Many compliments.
