>A friend bought a '93 Dak (318/auto/stock suspension) with worn out
225x75/15 Goodyears. He replaced them with 215x75/15 Sentry all-season
skins (National Tire & Battery). The 225-215 change was due to splash
skirt rub on front in hard turns.

>The problem is that the new dogs have noticeably less acceleration
traction than the Goodyears. He has to baby the throttle to keep the
rubber stuck to the pavement. Soooo, I'm looking for "I'm happy
with..." stories from DMLers regarding brand/size/style of rubber and
also shocks. Remember, strictly stock suspension. Thanks!

I'm pleased with my Firestone SS10's in 255/60-15 on 7 inch American
Racing AR593's.
