tires
when I was at Turlock, there a guy selling European made Good Year tires. they are about half the price as the US made. I know they will not cut it for fine point. but they might be OK for a driver. has anyone tried these tires.

Re: tires
When I was in Romania a few years ago the bus had Good Year tires made in Egypt.

On the other hand, just because it is made outside the US dosn't mean it's bad. Look who invented the car in the first place - and the radial tyre etc etc. I'll follow this thread.

Re: tires
They are probably made at the Sava factory in Slovenia.
Their 4wd tires survive the outback just fine. https://www.sava-tires.com/sava/emea...us/who-we-are/ Nice country Slovenia. |

Re: tires
Synchro, are today's inner tubes quite a bit better than say 10-15 years ago?? Bratton's advertises freshly made tubes with fresh materials. Are these trustworthy??
Signed, nervous to buy new inner tubes hanging onto the old |
