They ride real nice, but one finally had a belt separate, so above 50 it shakes.
You folks south of the border are real lucky because you can get bias ply almost anywhere. If I ask for them up I here they don't pay attention. None are even made here. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 483 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 483 | I'll get the phone # of Wallace tire out of Dallas.
