Re: [DML] Tires too old?

["Farrar Hudkins" <fhudkins@xxxxxxxxx>]

Tom,

I've been told that it is not critical that your front and rear tires
match, but it helps if the tread patterns are as similar as possible.

But I may have been told wrong.

By the way, before I bought it, my car had Dunlop GTs installed and
"force balanced" (whatever that means) at DMC Florida. For me, they're
fine tires, but I've no idea how much they cost or if they are still
available.

Drat -- I started out this e-mail with the intention of being helpful. Oops. LOL
