Subject:      2 more cents on tires
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

After scouring the internet for tire info and reading many opinions on the
subject, I replaced my old Michelins with Hankook RA08's (all season, load
range D).  I have an 84 westy with stock steel rims and put on185R14 tires
( I think they make a 195 too) and so far they are excellent.  Smooth ride
and very good stability in strong cross winds (field tested along the CA
coast).  They are also reasonably priced ( I got them locally...but the Bus
Depot sells them).
