My endorsement is still for Firestone SZ50s (the original model) for any car
they have a fitment for. Any of the tires that might be marginally better
are way more expensive. Everyone I've talked into using them loves them,
and I won the Street Tire trophy on them a couple of years ago. What else
can I say?
