I sent a message to Bill Egan of Goodyear. Because of the 5000 lb weight of my Blazer EV, a P235/75R15 size tire is needed to support the wieght. But their isn't a Goodyear LRR tire in that size.
So, I could use P215/70R15 SL-001 INTEGRITY VSB TL 402 431 047 97 S CAMI at my risk. Looks like my my tire alignment might have too much toe-in causing the the excessive wear on the outside of the front tires. So I will need a wheel alignment but by a dealer that will do it right. Too many places seem to do their work half-awake. So I may get the tires at one place and get the alignment at another. There is also an issue if I can get this tire at all. Some tire dealers, say they can, three weeks later, they say they can't. I do not need this. Another idea is to skip seeking a LRR tire this time, and go for a P235/75R15 tire that is designed for the weight. How much drag would I see with a non-LRR tire? Tomorrow, I will be out-n-about looking for tires and a good place to do a decent front end alignment. -Bruce ===== ' ____ ~/__|o\__ '@----- @'---(= . http://geocities.com/brucedp .
