Hello Robert - 

--8<--cut 

CA>> This is true. I run with 10-15% extra air in my tires to
CA>> help me in those maneuvers. :-) 

RS> I also run the tires on the high side of the pressure
RS> range. I prefer control over comfort. 

It also keeps them 'round' at high speeds and reduces heat
build up within the tire. 

RS>> Stopping and manuvering out of the way of others who can
RS>> not stop or who do not see are important here. 

CA>> In the AUTOMOTIVE echo there are guys with lots of $$$ who
CA>> put dual calipers on all four wheels with vented rotors.
CA>> THEY can STOP!!! 

RS> I'd like to try a car like that, just to see the difference. 

Me too. :-) 

RS> Still, you've got to maintain the rubber to road friction
RS> or else even the best brakes will be useless. 

Don't know if you saw the listing I posted at Roy's request of
tire manufacturers but it was the same AUTOMOTIVE echo on FIDO
where I got that from. I have to admit these guys were smart
enough to know they had to _stop_ and put their money where
their mouths were to back it up.
