Re: truck tires
It may be that Michelin is the best, however, I will not run them.
In 69-70 in the War Games in Sunny Southeast Asia I had to deal with the Frogs from Michelin in III Corp.
It was not good as they still controled a lot of rubber plantation then.
I got a hate on for them as they tried and sometimes were sucessful at sending troops around some areas or into other areas of their plantations. The French were POS people and I never trusted them.
If the Frenchman told me to stay away from something, that is where I went to find dinks. If he said go this way or that, I would comply until out of sight then go around and sneak up on the ambush and bust caps.
I would not put a Michelin tire on a skateboard is how much I hate them.
I bought a Dodge 2500 diesel truck with Michelin tires on it in Brighton and drove it to Greeley and had the tires replaced with BFG. 43 miles and wondering when the Frog was going to ambush me somehow.
Cost was minimal, good trade on Michelin tires, they were not under me.
Just my thoughts, Fuck Michelin and Fuck all the Frenchmen involved. It has been 40+ years but I have not forgotten.
I would rather walk than ride on Michelin tires. Regards, FM
