tires wisdom? '88 80Q

[Ed Kellock]

Having said that, that size is fairly limiting.  Is there another size that
could be substituted?

The General seems to be backorderd.  I have a little experience with the
Kumho and it was decent.

Based on what Tire Rack shows for that size, I'd go with the Kumho Ecsta ASX
or the General Exclaim UHP.
