Indeed, Randall, I was not seeking to belittle any of the advice given here...only to warn that following ONLY the advice given here might lead to a misguided decision.

These forums are great ways to pass on what we've learned through our own experience, and what works and what doesn't in our eyes--that's why we sign on to this site and talk to each other.

I apologize if my remarks seemed scathing, I only meant to suggest that a qualified tire technician might be able to answer some of his more pointed questions better than we (or at least I) might.
