Subject:Cdn source for Michelin Agilis
From:Doug Alcock

Hi gang,
 I need new tires ---- we were coming back from camping on the weekend when 
my left rear tire suffered a catastrophic blowout at 65mph on the QEW (an 8 
lane divided hwy). Scared the something or other out of me. I got it to the 
side of the road and put the crappy spare on. Had a brief bad moment when I 
got to the 5th lug nut which was not the stock 19mm. My wife asked me what 
was wrong --- I told her the wrench didn't fit that particular nut. She 
asked if I had something that would fit. I rallied briefly and said -- you 
forget who you're talking to. (She'll laugh at my tool buying/carrying habit 
-- but will never discourage it). Found a 22mm wrench that did the trick --- 
though the huge crescent wrench that I carry would have worked too. 
 I'm going for Michelin Agilis --- lots of good feedback etc. Can anyone 
point me at a good Canadian source for these. 
 Stupid question --- what size do I need for stock rims on an 84 Westy. 61 
185 R14C?
 I'd also like to get a new set of rims --- mine are visibly dinted/out of 
line etc. Anyone have a good source for these or a good used set?
 Cheers,
Doug
