Kevin, I just bought a set of MXT's for my '88 GL just before leaving New Mexico and driving east. Replaced the set the used car dealer had on there when I bought the rig. Zounds!!! What a difference!!! Those re-inforced sidewalls made a huge difference in the way it performs on the road. There was significant improvement in road handling differences in a stiff crosswind as well. So far, very good tires, I can report. ------------- But with poor treadwear rating (280). My Cooper Lifeliners ride beautifully and have a treadwear rating of 640 - they will last more than twice as long as the MXT's and they are less expensive $75 versus $100. |
