Andrew,

"gummint line"

Pretty cool .... A Hill Billy from New Zeland :)

I never knew there was such a thing.

So we should'nt pay any attention to the Vehicle Manufacture
 or the the Dept of Transportantion guiidlenies.

OK .. Got it.

So which guidelines should we use?

If it's sort of round it's ok?

Big Brother... isn't it the same outfit that tells you that doing 2mph over
the speed limit automatically makes you a crazed murdered? Do you really
expect the gummint (ANY gummint) to tell the truth? Those folk have an
agenda.

And the manufacturers are covering their butts. They are not interested in
anything more than the minimum work to certify a vehicle, so they do't even
bother to specify car tires.

If YOU want to toe the gummint line, why try & talk others into following?
