Rich - thanks for the heads up!

205-60-15 at $25 each is too cheap to pass up (even with $80 shipping). This will be an interesting experiment.

NO2 here I come! Hopefully the 205's aren't too wide, and the extra 2% of height will help, and hopefully the "Medium" compound is OK. Oh well I'll find out!

FWIW, I think the R700's tread design, with large void-to-tread ratios, is well-suited to the soft surfaces we run on.

Actually I have run both the Kumho and a Michelin rally tires this year and I found that the Kumho was a little better in with the surface conditions at Four Oaks.
