Was Tire choice for teardrops Now Falken Azenis Q

[Indiana_Red at hotmail.com (Ken B)]

Thoses tires have the asymetrical tread pattern.  That probly means you have
to mount them (sorry) pointing the right way right?  Never had a tire that
mattered in this dept B4.
Thanks

Ken, if you are not concerned with tire wear I can personally recommend
the Falken Azenis in 195/60/14.  www.discounttiredirect.com has them for
$51/ea.  I don't know if they are still offering free shipping but when
I bought mine I didn't have to pay it.  That's $200 to the door for an
excellent set of tires.  I got about 15k miles out of these tires (hard
street driving, little bit of autox).

The SP8000 is also a great tire and will last a little longer.
