        I have those big mag wheels that take kids bicycle tires
and tubes very well.  Even buying the 'expensive' racing slicks
is cheaper than E&J.  The only problem is I have yet to find a
supplier for those 8" babies in the front.

        Care is half the battle.  A good polish job with spray
turle wax every so often, wiping them clean weekly, and touching
any rough area with clear nail polish.
