[AT] tire brand

[Cecil Bearden]

In my case, I mount my own tires and it takes me a day to mount 2 tires 
with fluid in them because of my disabilities.  However, If I had them 
mounted, it would be nearly $500, so I think I made a pretty good day's 
pay.  Due to the difficulty or expense of mounting tires, I will only 
buy new when replacing tires.   Do it once and forget it....   As I said 
before, stay away from SPEEDWAY tires...They do not fit.. I spent over 
$250 in tubes and lost over $200 in alcohol fluid due to these tires...
