How many people on the list are named Chris?
I hope that there are about thirty.
If there is only one; then he is the most prolific source of information
I've ever seen.
Congratulations Chris:
I'm finding: Chris Chubb, Chris Smith, Chris Stann, Christopher Dariek,
Chris Hinkle, Chris Radcliffe.
Don't let *ctb1* alias Chris cut in on you.

My opinion on HanKooK tires.
Go for it! They have to meet federal standards to get into the market
place so you can be sure that they are at least the standard for the
rating they are given.

another brand if I hadn't got this set of four on a warranty adjustment
for $137.00)
