[A/S] Re: Wheels & Tires for 1960 Traveler

Greetings Steve!

I have towed my Overlander over 40,000 miles and ten years on Good 
Year Marathons with no adverse effects - - no blowouts, flats or 
other problems.  My Good Year dealer has always been very 
cooperative in providing tires with recent production dates, and has 
always insisted that the wheels be equipped with steel valve stems.  
I will be having my third set of Marathons installed on the 
Overlander before it makes its next adventure as the current set is 
five years old (my self-imposed replacement interval).  I have also 
run Marathons on my Minuet since its purchase over two years ago 
with the same good results.  I have several acquaintances with 
Vintage coaches who are also experiencing good results with 
Marathons. With any new tire that has metric sizing, measurment is 
almost required to insure that there is adequate room (especially on 
Vintage single axle coaches).
