Dave,
To tell you the truth, I'm unemployed, and the last thing I planned to
do was spend $400 on a new set of tires, when the ones it came with had
LOTS of tread left on them. One day I came outside to hear the sound of
escaping air coming from one of the rear tires, and it actually looked
like someone had slashed (one single cut) the inner sidewall! Right
where the tread meets the sidewall. That, coupled with things the PO
told me about having to replace perfect-looking tires before, made me
pay close attention to the postings here on the list. (I had previously
deleted all tire threads) Do what you want, but know that Murphy's Law
is alive and kickin'.
Hope this helps,
Doug
