New Tires

2001-08-29 by Don Lattimer

Hi all,

Update to the tire conquest:  After much searching I finally 
located "H" rated tires in the size I wanted (195/70HR13).  Pirelli 
no longer carries the P4000 in 185/70HR13, only the P400's that 
are "S" or "T" rated.  Cooper carries a 195/70R13 but it is "T" rated 
also.

Maxxis Tire out of Georgia- http://www.maxxis.com (they are well 
known for motorcycle tires) had what I wanted in their Ontario, CA 
warehouse.  I received them last week, had them mounted and balanced, 
and took off for Monterey, CA.  After a 900 mile trip, I am more than 
impressed!  The trip included a ride up Rt. 1 from San Francisco to 
Ft. Bragg which is all two-lane curves 300 ft. up from the ocean.  
Tires handled like a dream; no squeal or protest.  Out on the highway 
a very comfortable ride.  I highly reccomend them if you are in need 
of tires.

The kicker?????????    $38/each !!

Email me for contacts, locations, etc.  I am not affiliated with 
Maxxis in any form.
