Luke any thoughts?? [[Justin]] '98 Silver Frost SVT #2089/6535 I am made of cheese My car is in the shop When I drop the clutch, I get wheel hop Do not eat me, oh please

The construction techniques used are exactly the same as the Dunlop Sport 5000 so they are very good tires, but there are better performing all-season tires. Everything considerd they are a very good value Luke Pavlick Sales Representative ASE Certified Master Tech For more info on any post or to place an order please call 800-428-8355 ext. 362 for on-line orders mention my name in the previous contact field for prompt personal service. www.tirerack.com I want to die peacefully in my sleep Like my Grandfather Not screaming and frightened like the passengers in his car !!!
