Re: New EQ on the way...

["George Turner, Jr." <george@dxnet.com>]

I have those redbox pads on my car and all I can say is 'I LOVE THEM!!'  the amount of brake dust has dramatically decreased...and I now I stop 60-0 in 119 feet!!  That is pretty darn good if I say so...Also I would suggest the toyo proxes T1 plus fi you live in a place that does not snow a lot..they are treadwear  200 tires for 17" wheels...for 15-16" wheels they are like treadwear 250...those things stick on a dime..They even have some guys doing road racing on them... I have also auto crossed on them and they are my everyday street tires...  So far they are better than the other tires I have had (dunlap & yoko)...The only drawback is the price....around 200 each...
