Many thanks to Ken, Skip, Larry, Ken, Jeff, Brian, Tim, Mike, Harry, and anyone else I've missed that responded to my questions about tire

replacement. 



After weighing the differences between the Yokohama's and Dunlaps, I went

for the Dunlap D60A2's 185 60R 14. Total price incl tax & inst $272. 



Those OEM Bridgestones were down right dangerous!



After only about 10 miles on the new tires my initial feelings are,

quicker turn-in, quieter (more quiet?) stickier on dry pavement (even in

their new condition) - haven't had a chance to try 'em in the wet yet.

But maybe that'll change this weekend in Iowa.



Rolling resistance is not supposed to be all that good on 'em. I'll be

interested to see if my mileage drops further than the 27.5 I'm averaging.



Thanks again to everyone for your thoughts, comments, and recommendations.
