I also have a 9000 Aero, and will recommend these tires as well, when I bought the car the previous owner had put Goodyear Gatorback VR tires on the car, and let me recommend wihtout a doubt that you AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE these tires. I've had them on 3 cars now---long story---and they are just horrendously bad. The SP8000 are great tires, a good balance of VERY high performance, and much better ride quality. Also they seem to perform very well in bad weather. What to say? ;-) Chris > WetSprocket wrote: > > On Wed, 30 Sep 1998 21:29:53 -0700, Ken Washington <kenwashnopsam.net> > > wrote: > > > > >Paul, > > > > > Then I discovered the tires at Performance Discount Tire.
