Andrew,
Had to have Coker replace two of the Michelin X tires I recently bought. My l=
ocal Discount knew just how to measure what they were asking for. Spent two=
more months trying to get Coker to issue credit for the returned tires. =20=
Alan Hendrix recommended Diamondback to me, they added whitewalls to a new s=
et of NanKangs. No problems, decent prices. NFI
