The first thing i had to do was to get new tyres, i changed from the old 750x16 Town & Country crossplies to these 238 85 R16 Good Year Silent Armour radials. They are rated 10 out of 10 for snow, 9 out of 10 for stopping in the wet and in the dry and 8 out of 10 for mud. They are about an inch and a half bigger all round than the original crossply tyres. When i went to the local Good Year dealer in Leesburg, they took the wheels off and popped one of the tyres off, some of the younger guys there had never seen a wheel with an inner tube before! They got the new Good Years on and balanced on a friday evening and the difference driving back home was just incredible, if i had known the difference before i would have changed to radials years ago, it is just amazing how we stick to things we know and are afraid of change. This certainly is one of the best investments you can make, there is nothing else between you and the road. Remember! you've got to be able to stop in the wet and the dry.
