Subject: Re: LTX Tire Pressure ... Now Noise

I have postponed my complaint (1500 miles on them on my '87 Westy) about
the
LTX until someone else mentioned them on List...
All,

I had the opportunity to avail myself of Stephens genuine and warm
hospitality over the last week, and want to publicly thank him, his wife
Coleen, and his sons for showing the true spirit of Vanagonism!

Besides the thank you, I'd like to comment that I have driven one V'gon
or another for over a half-million miles, and his new LTX tires are
noisier than any other tires I have used - most likely by double!!

He obtained them from Sears - is it possible that the Sears tire is not
the same as that available, by the same name, through other channels?  I
advised him to return them as they are totally unacceptable.

I have a MAJOR problem in that they are really noisy!
After 30 MPH they emit the sound of a thousand bees.
Anyone else have this problem?
Just wondering.
