Subject:      BFG AT/KOs in new 14" size, opinions needed
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Just came back from a 4 day trip up island where it became evident my front tires are rapidly going downhill, probably with some broken belts. (Yoko Y370s). I have BFG AT/KOs in the NLA 27x8.5R14 size on the rear, with only 15-20K on them, so I'm considering getting two more for the front. I'm interested in hearing from anyone who's tried the new 195/70R14 ATs. They have a higher load rating and seem perfect for the van, but I also liked the slightly taller 27x8.5 size. I like the aggressive tread of the BFGs as much of my driving is on rough roads, and they do well at it.

I need to do something before leaving for Calgary in a few weeks, so feedback from Canadian listees on sources also appreciated, as I won't have time to get them from afar...

Thanks
