Rick great advice.

When you swapped out tires by two's, What order did you do it in? Front, middle, rear, the other way? Also, what size BF Goodrich did you purchase, 225 or 245 for the Alcoa wheels.

I was hoping Gladstone was close to Detroit but I see you are way over on the west side of the UP.

Thanks

Mike
Size 225. I followed the conventional wisdom of putting the best tires on the front, followed by the rear for no particular reason and this summer will be the middle. Now after reading the Net with the theory that the middle tires take the most abuse and therefore should be changed first, I am considering not reading the Net anymore. Actually that seems to make some sense and if I had to do over would probably do it that way. But the wind is blowing, it is 25 degrees and my garage is unheated so I think I will just leave those Michelins in the middle as planned and change them this summer. But if I come limping into Bean Station on five wheels we will all know that it was a poor plan.
Yes, Gladstone is in the central UP on the shore of Lake Michigan. It is about 400 miles from Detroit. It is a great place for about 8 months out of the year. This is a good time for me to remind all of you that you are welcome here for a stopover. I have a new garage with a pit if repairs are needed. The best time to tour this area is July through mid October. Very mild summer temperatures with highs rarely hitting 90 and most of the time in the mid 70's. If you have never been here it is well worth seeing. I met GMCer Andre (Mangomushroom)and his girlfriend from San Francisco last summer and they said that they had thought up a slogan for Michigan. "Michigan it is not what you think it is". Yes Michigan is on very hard times right now and is not the greatest place to live if you are out of work. But for a retired bum, it has a lot to offer. So everyone, help out Michigan and come here for your summer vacation. I will even offer a free night or two with electric and water.
