Well, a couple of days ago I noticed that the tread was separating from the tire on my van, and thus, it was needful to get new tires. So, the past couple of days has been on a search for tires. I've been recommended to get Michelins, but any decent tire would do. So after reading a bit on the net, I went out this morning to aquire some tires, and discovered something immediately...because my van is the "Sport" model, it has 16" rims...and most places don't have tires the right size for my van! I hit about a dozen places this morning...and the only place I could find that had them was Costco (aka Priceclub). So, I got 4 new tires, and now the car moves much more nicely. Gone is the old wobble, and when I take my hands off the wheel, it runs straight. Grips the road well, too, of course! Now to see how well they wear...They are rated about 70,000 miles, so they should last at least a couple of years...and with Costco, I get a warrentee of 60 months or the tire being worn down to less than 2/32 of an inch. Now I have to take a drive of at least an hour to make sure they were mounted correctly...
