Hi All,

I have looked at sizes from 165R15 (present) to 185R15 and concluded that the 
185R15s would provide an additional 1/2" ground clearance while maintaining 
similar steering wheel effort and inner-fender clearance as my present 165s.  
Although the 1/2" my not seem important to most, my Phase 1 BJ8 has the same 
ride height as previous models but reduced rear ground clearance as a result of 
the BJ8's cross-back resonators (driveways and dips are a pain in the *****).  

I have looked for the best price for a set of 185R15 Vredestines and found at 
$139 + $11 shipping / tire, Vredestinetire.com (Tires Unlimited) out of Dayton, 
Ohio seems to be it.  Has anyone found a better price for these tires?  Has 
anyone done business with this Web-based organization?  The surprising thing is 
that Vredestine US Corporate HQ is in NJ and indicates they have no local 
dealer that carry, or can order, this tire.

I would appreciate any input.

All the best,

Ray Carbone
64 BJ8 Phase 1
