Hello Jay, Yes I used the UNIROYALS on my '87 westy I got 45k Plus on them. They are good tires. But when they wear down they lose traction(no surprise there)real fast. I could have gotten another 5k on them but why bother. I bought the Kirland's about 5k ago and they seem fine. I think they good tires for the buy, and they are c rated. Hey these aren't SUV's - thank our lucky stars. cheers, Paolo Twenty One 21st Century Zen quotes - Zen quote #12: It's always darkest before daw. So if you're going to borrow (ahem) your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it. |
