Not that my opinion means much but yes I still *HATE* Kumho tires.  The
Dunlop FM901s are the same price and twice the tire.

The CarboTechs were the single greatest improvement to the Verde I have
made.   The braking power is incredible to say the least.   At Road
America's Canada corner, a buddy was braking at 4 in his SCCA EP Alfetta
weighing 2000lbs, I was braking at 2 in a 3000lb street car.  After taking
him for a ride in my car, he now has a set of CarboTechs.

I took an AROC Detroit member around Gingerman in my car, after changing his
underwear, he has new brakes now too.   Still waiting for my commission
check from Andy :)

Looks good.  Hope to see it in New England in July.  BTW, you planning on
getting Squirted there?
