Thanks for the advice.. Called the local tire store they can do all of this as a
matter of doing business. Rotation flat fix etc..They offered up Toyo's as well
and told them the Dunlops would be fine thanks...Must be a hell of a markup on
Toyo....
I have dunlop sport 8000 on my little hot rod and they stick like glue unless of
course it is snowing.. But they are 10 inches wide on a 2300 lb car as well,
sort of a toboggan in the snow.
