    Goodyear WeatherReady as all-weather choice

    Why not see if you can warranty the conti's before you do anything? I just warrantied my Conti LX20's which have a 70K mile warranty. I had a little over half the mileage warranty at 37K miles. I was able to get 4 new tires for less then $400 compared to $800 for a new set at full price.

    F15 Arrested Landing at Portland.

    No drag chutes on F-15's. They are on F-16's in countries with short runways. The drag chute pod is quite large.

    Getting new Conti's, good deal at Sears

    I have 2.5 years on a set of these on my 4runner. The wear rate will slow down. I'm hovering at 5-6/32nds and I've driven to Vegas (high temps) and tow 4k lbs travel trailer. I picked up an extra set of rims and mounted a set of snow tires on them last winter

    When will Toyota do to the Tundra, what the big 3 did

    It's coming soon by Toyota standards. I say that because I have shopped New tundra's and asked specifically when a redesign is expected and Toyota is using a research company to gather data on what Toyota owners would like to see in a new truck. I have been asked to participate in return for...
