Where did you find the 4 ply goodyears? I am in desperate need of tires now as well so I am frantically looking for some v-treads. I heard that you can still buy the 8-ply stones from firestone but have not found anyone to confirm that. Any suggestions on more tires like you just got?

I have TruPower's now but my god are they hard. I have even cut them but I guess I am not sure how far I can cut them. They are also very heavy tires as well. Anybody have anuy suggestions on cutting these. Diamond dave are you getting rid of those stones in the pics as well?

I gotta brand spankin new set of 4 ply 23's still had the stickers on them, All I can say is I have some great friends :wink: I was debating we'll say a 60 / 40 cut ? with one lug being longer than the other instead of cutting both the same. I believe pipedope has his cut that way? INput on that ?
