Thanks Shan. Been pricing them at local shops and online. I've seen pictures of the tread. Looks nice. Per parallel thread about tire age, I'm not excited about buying online and having no control over how old they are. Plus, with shipping, the onlinetires end up costing $141@, while my local Discount Tire quoted $139@ including mounting/balancing & disposal of old ones. Walk-on-water Les Schwab doesn't carry them but will special order. Going in tomorrow to get a price. I do like their service. From spending several hours searching comparisons and customer reviews I'm pretty convinced they're a great tire for the money. Thanks!

> They are the standard 225/75/R16 in Load Range E so a typical size and they are USA made. Not a dmestic brand anf farmed out. I was originally going to get diferent tires when I found the Dunlop's and did a little research on them. The ride is softer than my old tires even with 70# pounds in them and despite the aggressive tread road noise doesnt seem to be any different then wih my old Highway tread, I have about a thousand miles on these and sofar i"m happy with them. you can get them from www.onlinetires.com for about $124 each. I picked up locally so I didnt have to pay shipping, but I still had to pay sales tax.
> Hope that helps :)
