Yokohama tires.....Bridgestones, or???? Plus battery charging

[Ralph L. Fullenwider]

Tony:

Don't go with Bridgestone/Firestone

Michelin are good but pricey

Yokohama are good tires, By the Way Yokohama is owned by Goodyear

Tires are expensive but when you stop to consider what happens when you
have a blow out, it becomes pretty cheap insurance. With a 300.00 tire, you
get what you pay for. which is not much

Safe travels,
