There are good dealers out there - I've never had any complaints about J. V.
Like, in Three Cocks, near Hay. We bought a vehicle there, admnittedly, but
it was only a secondhand one, not new.

The other issue, of course is the load rating. It's quite probable that the
only tyres with a suitable load rating are going to be HR rated, and they
are fitted for the load, not the speed of the vehicle.

Yeah, Alberta, Canada. And yes, thats only tires sold and installed by
them. Costco here sells Michelin, Bridgestone, Uniroyal, a couple of
others too I think as well as their own brand "kirkland" which I think
are just Uniroyals.
