[Miller, Robert A]
I have 20,000 miles on my Firestone Firehawk P/235 60R15
mounted on 97 DAK CC SLT+ 2wd 318
Wet weather driving is no problem for stopping, taking off they
grip the pavement hard as long as oil film
is washed away. I too have a set of S curves going to work and
I push my DAK 75 mph through. I too
have heavy suspention w/ sway bars frt/bk. I still can't wait
til march and my alimony payment will be
then used for real tires and wheels.
