<VV> 185/80/13 Tires: Good News and Bad News

[Doug Mackintosh]

In April I  bought a set of Dayton Quadra P185/80R-13 tires (with narrower whitewall) for $26 apiece. One set for my daily driver, one for my daughter's Spyder.  I've been satisfied so far.  They aren't performance tires but I did manage to win my class in the Corsa/NC Fall Affair autocross.  I would say they perform like previous tires I've used (Dunlop Axiom II A/S P185-80R13 and Winston Californian I 185-80R).

<<Diamond Back Classics makes a 185/80/13 one inch whitewall from a 
Dayton Quadra SE. Their tires are $132.00 per tire plus freight. 5 tires and 
freight are $737.00. 4 Tires and freight are $580.00. Consumer Reports 
liked a Dayton tire in their recent ratings. Does anyone have any 
experience with Dayton tires to share? These prices make one want to find a 
Kumho, Cooper, Toyo, Hankook, Kelly-Springfield or Dayton dealer for 
the close but not quite one inch white walls. Does anyone know who makes 
the Peerless President ll and is it a Dayton or Firestone 380 
comparable tire?>>
