Thank you Alan.

lucky also has a lot to give to the forum, and has good technical information to share in most cases.

I just grow weary of the "less than polished" interpersonal skills exhibited by some.

Perhaps I am too sensitive to it, particularly if that is the future of the forum.....I don't think lucky means harm.

best regards-

<edit> - lucky and I have pm'd and I understand now that he was just pointing out that it is ok in his experience to run a drag radial on the street. All better now. Sometimes the old man (me...) gets cranky.....</edit>

Falkens and Proxies are great choices IMO. Don't get the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A's. I love the dry grip they give, but they aren't real big on the ride quality and the 140 treadwear rating doesn't help.
