tire question

[dswalterwi at gmail.com (Don Walter)]

I had the Kuhmos 712's and they were great handling but as like others I was 
not religous in rotating them and they started cupping and got very noisey. 
After discussing this with Tirerack the one guy said you have to commit to 
rotating them EVERY 3000 miles. If you are not then don't buy them. I am 
currtently interested in the ASX's (All Season) and the new SPT. I think the 
SPT are the next generation 712's
