    No top either. Must have been a wee bit damp in the cabin.

    He's older than me. He's faster than me. The only dampness he experienced had to do with a Depends failure

    Tires? IIRC, Hoosier A6's. Definitely not all-season tires.

    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    There is someone older than you? Oh wait, never mind. Even I am older that you.

    Bought Falken 912's 195/50/15's during DiscountTire Direct black Friday $50 off promo. $59.95 each with 65K warranty for the daily wheels. They ride quiet and so far have done well on the damp cold roads up in East Texas this past week. Talk of rain, sleet, snow this next week so I will find out how they are during my Tyler/Atlanta commute in the wet.
    Replaced Nitto NeoGen 205/50/15's on the daily wheels. IIRC $72 each installed. They were ok, quiet for first 25k then got screechy in the curves and corners and down to the wear bars around 30k. Did ok in rain up to 25K then really greasy feeling in the wet. Used 1 time at MSR for Apex class.

    Bought some Ziex 912's for the S2000. Initial impression is they are decent, got a little sideways in a parking lot with the gas but they still have the mold release compound so that's probably why.

    Sidewall feels a little softer than the RE-01R but still great for an "all season". Ride was comfortable and quiet. Should make for some good DD tires if you use RE-01R or Star Specs usually and are tired of killing them in 10K miles.
