Kevin,

I just bought a set of MXT's for my '88 GL just before leaving New
Mexico and
driving east. Replaced the set the used car dealer had on there when I
bought the rig.

Zounds!!! What a difference!!! Those re-inforced sidewalls made a huge
difference
in the way it performs on the road. There was significant improvement in
road
handling differences in a stiff crosswind as well.

So far, very good tires, I can report.

-------------
But with poor treadwear rating (280). My Cooper Lifeliners ride
beautifully and have a treadwear rating of 640 - they will last more
than twice as long as the MXT's and they are less expensive $75 versus
$100.
