Hi Ed,
Yeah liked some of your write-up!!!!! I know this tire thing is dead
serious and a old subject, But always had a problem with "only these tires
will work (sidewall steel)". If you got the weight of coach, And the tire
can handle it, weight/tandem seems like it should work, And modern tech.
Too!!!! But......
I still buy the name brands/ratings from off this net. Due to, "I don't want
NO
problems!!!!!!!!!" (best chance theory) And I do like to see
blurred,trees,cars,SOBs.(was going to add truckers but the ones on same
route is real nice to me and the Pumpkin-Rose, Lie flashing/thumbs up, Ran
with some of them up to about 90 till my boss woke up ........ Than I
couldn't
hear the radio for the longest)
> , But passed them again on next
upgrade
>... I too believe its the care given to tires and purchase (in my case
air tires (v-steel-E) up to
stated weight of tire, 80, Cause I don't know, Only bottom of tire touches
anything(Driving habits), Remove weight when not in use and cover ), And the
4-5yr. replace.
Be nice and care for them, And think what its worth to you, yours and
others.
Our lives are betting on it.
