[FC] vairs of course - tire sizes Now Kumho/Chev

[Diane Galli]

Hey, I didn't know they are a Finnish name tire, thanks for the info.

Nice story about the tires in snow and ice too.  We don't happen to have 
that tire, but hey, we do travel in snow even here in CA.  We have them on 
the Ultra Van.
