BSCC- Tonight's Monthly Meeting.......

[bomma at comcast.net]

Hello everyone, 

For those of you who couldn't make it to tonight's meeting, you missed a great one. Chris Donovan and Tiffany Puliafico from Sullivan Tires came and Chris was our Guest Speaker. He held court for more than 45 minutes fielding all sorts of tire related questions. He was most knowledgeable in terms of tire wear, not necessarily tread wear and what 'breaks tires down'. He seems optimistic that with his worldwide resources that he may be able to find one tire manufacturer that will take the lead in producing a limited run of 185X80R13's. Chris said he would be willing to return again, (maybe January), to update us on his efforts. Even if he finds a company willing there is the Federal laws requiring extensive DOT tire testing these tires have to pass in order to get the DOT# that has to be stamped on each tire that it met strict safety standards. Tiffany is "the voice of Sullivan Tire" that you hear when you call as she heads the call center. She to is very knowledgeable with the tires and as a special bonus she told those who were there to call, ask for her and she will give us a code for a discount on our future tire purchases. 
All and all a very productive meeting. I'll keep you posted if a source of tires comes up in the future. For the moment, 'wheels are in motion'. 

Regards, 
Ray 'B'
