Korey,
I'm going to look over your choices. I'm dreading another winter on my
Eagles as well. Maybe I'll bite on new tires sooner rather than later. How

Is there a site somewhere that compares the metric sizes to the "standard"
sizes? This metric stuff... Well, I'm still having trouble with it :-)
Terry.
