Good Heavens -- it is done!
"make thick my blood;
Stop up the access and passage to remorse"

Yokohama 195R14 Y370 tires are installed on Miss Betty.  (fifth one doesn't
easily fit into spare tire cubby -- pushing on coolant hoses -- is this a
problem? #@#$%!)

Thanks a bunch to all of you for your generous help and patience.
 Shouldn't of been such a big deal; but it was...finally had to settle on
what seemed like the best quality tire, rated for the load.  Hope the gods
favour a decision!!

Some notes:
-Y370 are marked with M+S;
-Y370 sidewall is only 2 ply; but it carries the label "reinforced
sidewall, 8-ply ("D") rating".  Rated for 170lb at 65psi.
-Bolton Tire (www.boltontire.com)  stocks the Y370's because they install
them on the CP Rail trucks.
-Nokians - can't reasonably get 'em in Canada, by gosh or by golly.
-RA08's - could only get old ones, 15 years old or more, apparently...???
-Hercules Power CV, Hero Vaneza VR02 and Vanco2 - wasn't that excited about
them; seemed like the Y370 were a better quality and safer.
