George & Loren,

I run 205:65X16 Nokan. 26.4" Dia. when new. So, a bit larger in diameter than stock.

Why Starwagon out-coasts mine down hill? Loren is just allot "slicker". Both in person and in what
he drives.... Starwagon  still has nice paint on it. My paint is so chipped, the bluff-body vortex and
eddies that shed-off the front of my Van act as a permanent Air-Brake! Bin known to flip small
rodents and other critters that follow too-close...... 8-)
