[DeTomaso] Another tire question

[Jim Hendrickson]

Dick, 

Are you still using the Victoracer V700? As near as I can figure from the
Kumho, Tire Rack and Performance Plus websites, the V700 and V70A are the
same tire. Z speed rating and 50 treadwear rating. The Ecsta XS is a genuine
street tire with a W speed rating and 180 treadwear rating.
