Eagle Gt Tires
hey, i recently bought a pair of Eagle GT's. specs 195-65-15 91R
has any1 else had any problems with these? they claim to be a higher performance tire and were a good price. The handling is surprisingly good compared to my old pair, but they are heavier and seem to "slow" my acceleration down.
Besides being a good overall tire, has anybody else noticed a lack in acceleration due to weight? thanks

Never had those tires, but remember that every pound of weight located out at the tread is "worth" about 2 pounds when you compare acceleration. You have rotational inertia along with the normal straight-line inertia.
