Re: tire advice please

[<62-65-mail-list-club@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bill,

Mike has good advice. My experience is with a newer Mopar that I did similar to your plan and it seemed to ride a bit 
more responsively. The speedo was a few miles per hour off so I had to be more careful near speed trap zones. :) 

Thanks,
Gary H.
