[DeTomaso] DeTomaso Digest, Vol 48, Issue 30- Rear tires

[adin at frontier.net]

One of my personal favorite rants follows:

Bob, and the pooch, are correct "sort of" . . .

the 335 is "too much tire" and the handling cannot be balanced  
(reasonable measures).  so the 315 probably balances the car better.

I just have an issue with "improving" the handling by decreasing grip.  
  This seems like duct taping a rubber ball in your wife's mouth to  
decrease noise levels when picking up your dirty socks and mowing the  
lawn will do the same thing.  But I guess this is my personal issue .  
. . . .
