[MR2] mk 1 tires

[Brian Knoblauch]

    Last set of BFGs I had were R1s.  They had a treadwear rating of 0, and 
lasted about  2 autocrosses.  :-)  My A032Rs had a tread wear rating of 60 
and lasted about 15k miles.  I believe my RA1s had a treadwear rating of 40 
and lasted about 12k miles...

    Luckily, they were all much smaller and far more common (and therefore 
considerably cheaper) than Veyron tires :-)
