    Lots and lots of choices. What are some quality choices? What about the very inexpensive tired from Double Coin, Roadlux, or any of the other off brands? What is the standard for plys? 19.5 size rims only please.

    I ran a lot of brands. Last set I went cheap, got Gladiator's. I think the 14 ply cost me less then $150.oo each delivered off the net. Will be buying 4 more next month. For the price, sure beats $345.oo for Goodyears or Toyo;s .
    Also even the high $$ 19.5's will be out of round. I have not seen any yet. That did not hold up better, after being cut true. I had best 1 tire Cut mine True. The ride was smooth for almost a year. Tire wear was better also. Does cost, but sure worth the price.
    Trying Centramatic Balancers this round. Have them on my KW, and they do the job.
