["funkstuf" <funkstuf@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's good info.  Guess our tire crisis isn't as bad as it seemed.
I noted that mine do only have white letters on the back but I like 
blackwalls so not a problem.  By the way,  The Cooper's seem to make 
my car handle very nice and for the first time since putting the 
Eibach Springs and Midstate Delorean Shocks on I could notice a big 
difference in handling compared to my stock Delorean.  Dale
