Re: time for new tires
sounds like murphy's law has hit you hard! Hate to here about your stepside though. wait, why not switch engines out and drive the stepside again, itll definately be better on gas anyway.

Re: time for new tires
Oh, to be 19 again....or even 26. I wouldn't care if I had to learn everything all over again.....
I just paid $650 for 4 tires, mounted and balanced and filled with nitrogen. I feel like I got out fairly cheap for a set of Geolander HT-S, OWL 245R70x16's. It's all relative, but since gasoline is 10 times what I had to pay in '65, I'm glad tires didn't follow that markup. If that was the case, the tires I bought in '65, would have cost me almost $1400!! And, that was for 4 tires from OTASCO.
