tires
Decided to get new tires although mine are only a little over 3 years old.
Wanted to actually see and feel different tires in the 11R22.5 16PR in
Bridgestones, Toyos,Generals, Dunlops and anything else that is widely
distributed except for Michelin. I am not a big fan of Michelin tires
simply because of the flimsey sidewall.

I want a tire with a good strong sidewall like the Generals I now have. I
will do anything for safety and reliability ? That to me means a strong
sidewall and lots of tread.

Two different dealers in Utica NY today just laughed at me. They have
nothing for sale in that size except for some chinese tires...no thank you.
They told me there is a shortage of tires and as fast as a load comes in
its gone. What shocked me is the labor rate now. Any work after 4PM is
$92/hr with a 3 hour minimum. What in god has happned????
