Subject: radios and tires
   Date: Mon, 2 Aug 1993 09:31:20 -0400


Ken Buck mentioned his radio problems that appearred after a trip to the fog
of Maine. Ken - your symptoms are the same as mine. Of course, the weather was
nice and dry when I took mine to the dealer so the problems didn't show up. It
seems the problems do have something to do with humidity. I think a few people,
both here and on CompuServe, mentioned they had the same problem. When the
problem occurs at the dealership they will usually replace the unit with any
gripe. FWIW, my CD player still worked even when the radio (and cassette) did
not.
About tires, I realize everyone has opinions about which tires are the
best. I admit, I have learned a great deal from all the messages posted here
about tires. What I would like to know is: does anyone have a comprehensive
rating/guide to performance tires? Consumer Reports rates a few street tires,
but I see several pages of listings froom places like Tire Rack and I really
wonder how all the tires are rated (speed, wear, temp, rain, snow, etc.). Does
anyone know of such a guide?
