Great! Finally something I can use (other than opinions or technical quips).
Please no flames, it's just that helpful items like this are few and far
apart.  Also those Grab-Ons usually have to be replaced every 2 years since
I park outside and the rain/sun/pollution has a field day on them.  I was 
kinda getting tired of Re: Re: Re: Re: Tires. P.S. anybody out there
have any exerience with the V MAX.  I'd like to hear some owner opinions on
that hot rod and why they chose it.
