Tires tires. What tires?
Of all the things we talk about, nary a word about tires.
I'm not satisfied with the plain old knobby thingees I inherited, and sometimes I go around the mountain roads here a little fast. What should I use? Mostly what I do is drive down the freeway 20 miles at 85, and sometimes haul a few debris to the dump, where I daintily steer around the nastiest muck to get to a bumpy dump site.
Today I saw a sleek Ford Ranger with Pirelli P5000 (or something) and wondered if that's what I oughta get. I like Pirellis, because I think they stick Real Good in rainy weather (I put them on my RX7s) so maybe I oughta get some for the REPU. The www.tirerack.com likes Bridgestone Turanzas for rain (my most important criteria), but almost everyone I've seen post in, say www.rx7club.com, just reflect advertising claims.
What ho! What's good for my needs?

Gee guys, no tire opinions? Should I put some nice Pirelli P400s (or some such) on the REPU?

I can't tell you what's good on the REPU, but I run Yoko AVS series on my 91 convertible. I have the DBs which are great in the rain (a pet peeve of mine) and are way quieter than any other tire I've had. They stick pretty good, but the car isn't a go kart, more a cruiser for me so that's where my priorities were.
