Looks over Safety? Your kidding right? What about the drivers coming
the other way when
your out dated tires give up. How many people do you really think are
paying attention to
what kind of tires your strutten when they have a complete Healey to drool
over sitting in front of them.
Have to disagree with you here Josef.
Safety Fast,
Mark
