    I like the 50 series too. Very snappy acceleration. But it lowers the car quite a bit, you have to watch where you are driving! It does, however, affect gas mileage as you're in a much higher RPM at cruising. Still, my all time favorite tire that we used to run in the early 90's on the Festiva was the Yokohama A008. I'd love to have those again.

          Hah... I also affect my gas mileage by running to 7.5K RPM's when I'm driving it hard anyways. :-P
