How'd you miss the Kumho truck in Meridian, MS? It was parked right
across from us, right at the Saturday finish, Sunday start.

The tread is directional, but the carcass is not. Once the directional
tread has worn, you have a symmetrical tire. We've had a set of Kumhos
right, left, inside, outside, etc., etc., etc. They lost grip before
they wore completely out, but that was longer than I really want to admit
running them (uh, a season and a half with two drivers...)

ex-'86 Shelby Charger on Kumho's
'91 MR2 NA on BFG's (Priebe's making the smaller Kumho work on this car,
but if I could drive like him, well...)
'91 GMC Safari on Kumho's (not V700's)
'81 Ford F250 on hmm, can't remember
