    I replaced them with smaller 14 inch radials.
    However,3 of the tires suffered broken belts.

    Ouch that sucks. I need to look into wheels and tires. I am going to switch the front to disc brakes but I need to be at least 15" on my wheels. What brand was that so I can avoid it?

    Now..to the point.
    At my work,Goodyear had a sales spiff on where i had to sell a certain number of tires to earn a free set.
    Did that.
    Plus,a few weeks ago, I participated in a supplier's trade show and won a free set of wheels.
    Guess what?
    FREE TIRES AND WHEELS for the WAYGUN!!
    It could not have happened at a better time.I needed tires in a bad way and just did not have the extra coin.

    They were 16 year old Hankooks 2157514 which is a model and size long discontinued.
    The new booties are 2356016 Goodyear Assurrance Comfortead Touring on FAST 16X8 wheels.
    Yeah,the front dust cap sticks out past the wheel..That's old school,man!
