Subject: tire deal?

halfway across the US I developed a bulge in one tire and almost blew it out
near Missoula. the only place that had anything was Les Schwab. He (they)
sold me a set of something called a Jupiter, a discontinued off brand, for
$69 each installed. they seem to ride nicely - certainly better and quiter
than what I had. Moreover, they are true 8-ply LT with max psi of 60.

can't say I gave them the toughest testing - no serious rain and no snow,
but they seem ok.
