New Tires

[Steve McDonald Formally known as Mcdonas]

Getting for the "final countdown" to 250,000 miles I changed the old BF Goodrich to the Goodyear Polyglas Fr70-14 radials. Look nice but I am heading for a drive to see how they ride and handle

Looks good, hope they perform well too...

took about a75 mile ride. Getting an alignment next week
Rides, smooth, seems to track well. Clearance is a bit tight but seems to just clear
Even stopped by the grocery store

So what's on the odometer now, Steve?  I'm looking forward to the 250,000 mile countdown too. I expect regular updates.

Hi Steve,

My experience with the Goodyear Polyglas tires (E60-14) is that they actually corner well, but are terrifying on the straights when you get in a rut, especially on the interstate.  If you stay on the back roads, they should be the most fun to drive on.  I am curious to hear your thoughts.  I also love the look.

Hi Steve,

My mistake.  I did not realize this tires were radials.  They should handle just fine.

Looking good

Always a good idea to swap out old tires. This was the year for mine. Tires have a definite "shelf life" whether used or not.  They look great on your Hertz!

I would black out all but the Goodyear because it will look closer to the original tires even though they are not . At least if it were my car but to each their own.

Hi Bob,

What is the best recipe to black out raised white letters.

Thanks

I have used Krylon black semi gloss for years and it works as good as anything else I have tried. It is cheap, goes on fast, and blends well.
