tires for 4kq

[Brian Devlin]

I used some BFG 205/60HR14 (touring T/A I think) and they kicked arse
for 40,000 miles of abuse. They are abit wider than other 205s that I
looked at, and they rubbed a bit when I threw it around a particulary
bad switchback, but that shouldn't be a problem in PA. Other than
that, great on road, off road, in the and decent in snow.
And personally I stay away from goodyear because I had some that
sucked in the rain.
