Wheels for 86 vs 96 ZR1

well yes to clarify,they are zr1 "style" rims.they made a big difference
in appearance-i always hated those dinner plate stock rims.
as far as the ride they feel much smoother,but i attribute that to new
tires - kumho extra supra's

Now there is a good tire to talk about, what do you think of them so far?
How many miles so far? What kind of weather have you driven them in?

i only have about 1500 miles on them,but the ride is "much" better than
the goodyears i had. the car is mostly restored so normal driving here on
long island is on a nice sunny day. i did my homework prior to buying these
tires and i am very satisfied.
