[FC] FC Rear tire size question

[Diane Galli]

   We are using 3.89's and 205/75/14 tires. Living near mountains, 3.55's
were unsatisfactory. We have nearly 90,000 mi on this combo. As a for
instance, we are leaving tomorrow on a trip that will take us to the "Toss".
We will be going up the Tehachapi's tomorrow afternoon. Diane shows it no
mercy.
