Tires -
I have a set of Sumitomo's on my '80 Westi, love 'em. I drive about 
100 miles a day, up & down the foothills to valley, about $50 each, 
with an 80,000 warranty.  I drive way to fast and they're hangin' in 
there.  I drive lots of small curvy roads in all weather (well, west 
coast US weather, anyway)
