Hi Larry, Many thanks for all your work on this. When I bought my bus three years ago the tires were in good shape so I didn't give any thought to changing them. On the first long trip I noticed a good deal of instability in certain situations that did not help me to feel very comfortable with them. I didn't realize at the that time that I was driving with tires that did not meet the specs of the tires that were original equipment on the bus. I now am driving with tires that meet specs. I would never consider driving the vehicle without tires that meet those specs. If the manufacturer sold the vehicle with a certain standard of tire for safety why would anyone who has this information choose to drive the vehicle without out that standard. Just does not make sense to me. I don't want to have my life riding on a tire that I think has a good chance of getting by and in most instances will probably do the job, but does not meet requirements for the vehicle. When the rubber hits the road and I hear the beat of tires rolling and I don't want to imagine the tires saying "Do you feel lucky today". Thanks again Larry, Bernie Vancouver
