Hi List,
Just had a pleasant experience after the tread shredded off my "Light
Truck" tires (came w/ the Westy I bought in California). I had the
spare slapped on and drove to the nearest Continental/General tire
outlet- about 20 min from my house. I asked for 4 General Altimax RT
205 R70 14s installed on my vehicle. They had them in stock, mounted,
balanced and installed in 30 minutes for about $267.00 US. Checked the
tires- all made in Mexico in 2008.

Or I could have driven to Tucson (300 miles- wait! my old tires won't
make it!) after ordering the Altimax, waiting 10 days for them to
arrive and paying $290 to the biggest tire dealer in Tucson. The tires
feel a little soft to me, though. Anyone else with an opinion?
