Subject:      Re: Go with the door sticker..... 

There have been only two name brand tire companies that I have ever had 
consistent trouble with:


      * Continental
      * Uniroyal


Every set of Continental tires I have ever owned (come as original equipment 
VW/Audi) I have discarded with <5K miles.


Hopefully Uniroyals are now better, with Michelin ownership.


By the way, if you ever come across Uniroyals built in Europe, they are 
actually Continentals.
