After asking people many times and investigating the "Tire Threads"or is that Treads?? I went with the Michelin XZX Reinforced sidewall tires. They are great! They made the bus handle much better and they look good too...Seems like the bus stands up the way you see them in pictures...not much tire sag. Above all they survived off road in Mexico which really impressed me. One of my buddies owns a wheel and tire shop in the San Fernando Valley(LA Area) and said he would put together an inclusive package for anyone who is interested in purchasing a set and IMHO his work is great. He can also arrange to have everything ready ahead of time so if you are from outside the area and just driving through he can do a quick installation. I don't want to post the price because I know we are not supposed have advertisements on the list. BUT, If anyone is interested please e-mail me privately at joe.chan@ix.netcom.com or call: Valley Wire Wheel Service 7306 Coldwater Cyn. #16 No. Hollywood, CA 91605 ph# 818-765-3258 fax# 818-765-8358
