Bill I can't speak for Dave, but I just dumped my Hoosiers. They simply wouldn't balance out. They looked great and gave great traction. But they were a pain. I even had them taken off the rims & shaved, but to no avail. For me at least; they wern't worth the discomfort. I ended up going with the Micky Thompson S/T street radials. Man what a difference. 10+ steps above BFG's. While the S/T's are only rated to 110+mph for 1 hour. For spirited street driving & mabe a quick romp up to 140/50 they have preformed just awsome. Ok I only have 600+ miles on them, but so far I went with Fronts @ 235/60-15. I could have gone 245/60 or 255/60's in the front & still may next year for a fatter look. In the rear I went 295/50-15's

PS I have a set of very low milage MT S/R radials if you want to try them. Before you go spending extra cash you may be sorry about later. Give me a call if your interested.
