I had a set of 255/50ZR17 Kumho Supra 712's on my 96... they lasted for
quite a while... I was very pleased with them.
Best regards,
Tom "Slick"

That sucks... But on the other hand the Fuzions are good too. Those
came with the 18's I had way back when I first got the 98 back
running. In fact I sold em with the tires still on and they were
still in good shape.
The kumho's I haven't really heard anything good on. Was looking at
those when I got the 20's, but the Hankooks looked a lot better.
If time's not a big issue, I'm going to Monster Mopar next weekend...
can see if there's a set of R/T's at the swap meet! :)
