- Whatever tires you get from Hendrix, he will balance them properly when he does the mounting. If he can't balance them, he won't sell them to you. Steve Byers HBJ8L/36666 BJ8 Registry Havelock, NC US

- I can second the Vredstein's, decided to buy a new set of MWS 15" painted standard wheels and went for the vredsteins. Nice looking classic tread pattern, alot like the Michelins. cheers Andy _______

- I actually think the Vredesteins suck. They follow the rain grooves and are very nervous feeling. The old Michelin XZX in 165 were nicer than these Vredesteins in 185/70. Yokohamas were also nice but
