<VV> The Latest Tire Survey

[Bill Elliott]

I just ran Nelson Ledges this summer with a set of Kumho autocross 
tires... sticker than the BFG R-1's I previously had and much sticker 
than the (older generation) Yoko R's I had... stickiest R tire I've ever 
driven.

The Kumho MX street tire is the stickiest street tire I've driven as 
well... the rubber felt almost like an R tire....
