Re: [Chrysler300] Tires

[1991BRG@xxxxxxxxx]

Rolland, I certainly understand where you're coming from on finding
good 14 inch tires for our cars.  I've considered upgrading to 15 inch
later C body road wheels on my L and '65 convertible due to the lack
of good, original sized tires.  The trouble I find is that I want a
good car tire that can handle the weight of our cars.

Mark, glad to hear you had good luck with the Hankook's.  I'll have to
check into them, they may be the way to go.  A good smooth, quite ride
would be wonderful.

Take Care,
Scott
