No -- the Stahlflex, like the A001 and A008 which came later, wasn't an
"R-compound" tire -- it was more like the current Dunlop 9000 or Yoke AVS.
In fact, I don't remember it being marketed especially as a racing or
performance tire -- a few people just sort of stumbled on the fact it was
faster than the rest of the crowd, and word spread. I had a set on my
Rabbit for two years -- probably would have lasted longer, but they were on
the car when it burned down to the axles....
