Hi volks!


Am I right or wrong? It is a guy named Alexis Neon ( spelled Nehon?) from
Montreal that invented the radial tire...Nobody in america cared about this
new structure, so he sold it to Michelin ??? Back in 72, I bought a used
volvo from a friend that had Michelin X with 110000 miles on them...they
lasted another 50000 miles and they were still good on ice, but not in the
snow...I almost kept one as a souvenir...this list always has subject to
bring me old souvenirs!
