Hello all, So it looks like the candidates so far are: - Kelly Metric Radial - Cooper Sportmaster GLT - Pep Boys Future Euro Metric - Forestone Daytona Metric Radial Did I miss any models that people suggested? I'm going to start calling around this week for prices. As for whay I mean by dry rot, it's not only that the tires are cracking on the surface, but now that one of the tires is completely flat you can see that the crack goes down to the fibers that support the drywall...so we're talking several milimeters of rubber that's comprimised. It's a shame, too, because the rear tires have plenty of tread on the rear...the fronts, admittedly, show some cupping because my alignment is out. Hopefully I can find a place that will give me a deal on the alignment if I buy a whole set of tires. I don't have time right now to align the thing myself, though I have done it before on other VWs I've owned. As for the set of tires in Boston, I'm in VA so I'd have to have 'em shipped, and unfortunately I've grown rather fond of my wheels. Also, the wife's not gonna authorize any excessive expenditure on new tires since I'm been buying old German motorcycle parts out the wazoo lately ;-P Thanks again, and I'll keep everyone informated... - Doug :-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
