Re: [A/S] Re: New Tires and Wheels



We would like to share an experience that reinforces this particular 
piece of advice.  This morning we picked up our Safari from Jackson 
Center service.  Among other things, they had replaced our former 
bias ply tires with Marathons.  

The unit always had handled very smoothly behind our big van, so 
we hadn't expected any noticeable change.  Were we ever wrong!  It 
was like night and day -- before, the ride was smooth; now it is like 
a Rolls.  Before, it was stable (no equalizer or sway bars), even with 
passing trucks; now it is like van and trailer are on rails -- trucks 
passing produce no detectable feel or deviation.

My hat's off to Andy -- as others have said before, he knows his 
business.
