Tires.....

parish8 and SportVortech-
Parish8-Email w/pics on the way...sorry for the slow response. SportVortech-I went thru the same process as you and even though I had never seen the Toyos in person, the specs won in every category. I forgot to mention the V rating as you pointed out. There is also the nice added bonus of the 29" height that effectively changes my rear end ratio from 3.42 to 3.55 because the stock rubber was 30" high. Add to that the load rating (can't remember the exact number off the top of my head) is fairly decent for towing. I need that for my 20' Trophy <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Both you guys be sure to let me know what you think as I am sure you will love them as I do.

I haven't taken mine to the track yet, but so far I think they'll do a pretty good job.
Its been nothing but wet and cold outside all week, so I haven't had the chance to really test em. But as far as wet conditions go, pretty good <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

pretty unlikely...check small tire shops, junkyards, craigslist etc...that old of a tire is most likely gonna be junk even if the tread isn't worn out just from sitting, weather checking, dry rot etc...
