Not a tire thread!

OK recently someone asking specifics about the off brand tires I'd found
for my 14" vanagon wheels.  I said,  "Go Form brand  tire type  G-520 in
205-70-R14 size." and that I planned buying on another pair, probably just
have my Tire Factory local store get them for me.    Someone else opined
that these weren't available and someone else said they were under-
strength for our vans...etc etc etc.

   Well, I called over to my local Tire Factory store and got one of the
tire changers on the desk, not even a real counterman........He took about
2 minutes and said..."We can have them here tomorrow" so I ordered them and
they came, just like I said,  with "98h load at 44psi max 1675""  just like
the last set, though the last set, a year, ago was from Tires Easy.com and
they were only $53 each..

   I also looked at my GM Safari AWD van's Go Form tires, some I bought
this fall, again as an emergency cheapo 'get me to work for a month or two
tire"......G 745 in 215-70 R 15....They, too, have a 98 load range  and max
at 44psi with a #7500 max....so those are actually right for my GM van,
too....it weighs about what a sycnro does ....So you who've swapped over to
15" wheels might look, too.   They worked great, good traction good wear,
good ride,great price.
