Subject:      All-Terrain 8.5x27 tires
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Planning a trip next month down the I-5 from BC to CA and there may be snow
on the pass between OR and CA.  I picked up a set of four good used BF
Goodrich All-Terrain 8.5x27R14 tires as part of another deal and put these
on my '87 Westie.  The handling is fine but the road noise is a good deal
more than I like.  Would it be safe to use a pair of my previous 195/70R14s
on the front and leave the All-Terrains on the back?  I'm no tire expert
and am not really sure about the difference between these tires.

Thanks, Rick
