Hi Jim,

I think that is a great idea. As they say, "I was beginning to think 
you'd never ask" :-)

I'm near Binghamton NY at the intersection of RT 81 (N-S) and the NY/PA 
border (E-W).

Fortson Georgia is a long drive.

Anybody closer want to help me out? If I don't get those nasty Michelin 
Red Lines, I think I'd go for 205/70 15.

It's been so long, I'm not sure I have even remember how my TR250 felt, 
let along the Michelins. :-)
