What about the diesels?  (Not that it matters for this discussion, of
course -- they use a different radiator.)  Mine shows a prounounced
tendancy for the front wheels to 'skate' in wet weather, but part of that
may be tires.  The PO replaced the rear tires, and they have deeper treads
than the fronts -- exactly the opposite of what I'd prefer.
