Re: [DML] Re: Tire Replacement

["Murray Fisher" <murrayfw@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gang,
    Many thanks for all the ideas and experiences on tire replacement.  I
got a total of 26 replies and everyone has their own preferences.   Actually
I don't really have much of a choice, as I cannot go to another town with
the D right now so need to deal locally. It is a small town so choices are
limited.  I have dealt with Les Schwab for a long time with a lot of cars,
motorhomes and have always been happy with their options and service.
    I went to WalMart and they only could get the front tires....Sears could
get them both but were quite a bit higher. .....neither could get Pirelli's.
I wanted local service so did not try Cooper or Dunlop or any of the other
brands suggested.
    A few minutes ago I ordered the Michelin Pilot HGT-4's.  They match as
to tread and sidewalls, where as Pirelli's did not match in tread.    They
will be here in three days and are in stock......the price was $590.71.
Grand total including new valve stems, wheel spin balance and mounting and
sales tax.  AND I only have to go a mile to get them!
    I am not concerned any more, about handling in the wet or snow or even
at high speeds....just a comfortable ride.  I suspect after 23 years and 8k
miles on the NCT's, ANYTHING  would be a lot better!  We will see and I will
report!
    Many thanks to all you guys for the reports and ideas...It was very much
appreciated.
