Yes, Mike. I am in fact George Washington. Not only am I pro-gun control but
I hate that English king too. As for tires, I don't any as I go by ferry.

You might want to clarify this a bit. You mean ALL four tires, right?

What the heck I got Pirelli speed rated car tires on my 87 GL. Then I have
some Uniroyal MonoPly load rated tires on my 16" Syncro. Came from Europe
that way. The 82 GL has some Kirkland tires on there. Generally no
complaints. Except that I did shred one very expensive Pirelli possibly due
to excessive weight for that type of tire, excessive cornering speeds, brake
fluid dripping on that tire all year round due to a leaky wheel cylinder or
all of the above.
