<VV> Tires

[Bryan Blackwell]

Hi Robert,

While I generally prefer American tires on American cars, you're  
right that new tires of any kind are better than 20 year old tires of  
any kind.  The Korean tires I've tried have been pretty good, and  
overall Korean manufacturing seems good so I'd not worry about that.   
At this point there really are only a couple of 13 inch sizes out  
there - these 185s, or the slightly short 195/70-13s.  If I were  
getting 185s, the ones Clark's carries are as good as anything else.
