I have been recovering frolm eye surgery and I missed a lot of email. AVON did recently make a TurboSpeed version on the TRX. I used to use them on my old 505STI Peugeot. They were cheaper than Michelin and handled better too.

I will not go further with these overpriced antique tires. I hate to admit it but I knew better. I guess it was the red mist that comes when buying used bmw parts. They will be going back to the PO. I sold my car and the new owner said he would buy them but I just can't pass these off as a good deal knowing what I know. Dang that little small voice;) Oh well better to sleep good at night I guess. Thanks for the advice from all. You guys rock. ben dixon [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary Derian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tammer Farid" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2005 10:14 AM Subject: Re: [UUC] Source for dreaded TRX rubber > Of course.
