<VV> Tires

[J R Read_HML]

Bruce....   MY choice was based solely on past personal experience with 
Firestone tires.  I wanted to (for sure) try an alternative.  I do not 
totally agree with your excellent tire comment with respect to Firestone. 
If I did, I'd not have gone overseas.

I'm now in a position (with Hankooks) to make a mental personal comparison. 
So far, there are SOME things I don't like about both.  In the end, I think 
it will come down to which I like - not better - but least worst.  In the 
REAL END, it will likely come down to who still makes the right size without 
having to pay $200+ per tire.

Tell me, do you think the Hankooks - coming from China - are heavier due to 
the lead content?  You'd think the rice would make them lighter!  OK - this 
part was intended as humor so please do not respond to this paragraph.

Later, JR

The good thing about the Firestones is that they're made of rubber,
not rice.


 but Firestone makes excellent
tires. From what I understand, Hankook tires are just fine too. Ya
pays yer money and ya makes yer choice.
