[MR2] mk1 tires

[Brian Knoblauch]

    I've streeted the RA-1 as well.  Very fun until the heavy rain hits.  At 
about 4/32's, I hit a river going across the e-way (at full legal speed) and 
the car changed lanes on me.  Bought Pilot Sports the next day, more tread 
depth is very much desirable in my part of the country where we sometimes 
get a good deal of rain and flooding...  :-)
