Hello Jay,
Yes I used the UNIROYALS on my '87 westy I got 45k Plus on them. They are
good tires. But when they wear down they lose traction(no surprise
there)real fast. I could have gotten another 5k on them but why bother. I
bought the Kirland's about 5k ago and they seem fine.
I think they good tires for the buy, and they are c rated. Hey these
aren't SUV's - thank our lucky stars.
cheers,
Paolo
