Decision time on new shoes
Yahoo Message Number: 103287
I have been reading and learning from all you LD owners.  I now know to ask for a lazer alignment.  The truck tire dealer knew exactliy what I was talking about and then discribed it just as I have read here.
 In have been given a quote on 2 different tires.  The tire size is 225 70R 19.5 and F rating.  By the way I am driving a 96 LD 30 built on a 95 P34 chassis.
My options according to this dealer are: Goodyear G670R and the Hankook AH11  The LD has Goodyears on it now
 Another dealer offered me Firestones or Bridgestones.  I break out in a cold sweat whenever I hear Firestones, since I was involved in the tread seperation issues in the 70's-80's.
 I am leaning twards the Goodyears, but there is a 30% diferetial in price Goodyears over Hankook's.
 Can anyone comment on the quality of the Hankook's before I committ on Tuesday to the alighment and new shoes?

Thanks ahead of time..
