Phil,
You may remember that there was one size in the Yoko R1 series
that had
a slightly different tread pattern and exceptional stick; that was the
175/70-13.
If you, or anybody else is interested, I have eight of these--new!. They have
been in dark bags, indoors, since new. I originally bought them as rain
tires for
my Elan, which I later sold to Rex Carle.
