Jim,

The only person that was using Goodyear tires in Solo was Jim Murphy and he
just didn't buy enough :-). Nobody else used them 'cause they sucked, plain
and simple. Even Big Jim has finally seen the light :-) :-).

A little birdie on the inside has told me that Goodyear has stopped
production of 10" tires.  This was discussed at the FSAE event this weekend
in Michigan.  They used up the full stock of tires and some teams then had
to go to Hoosier.  The Goodyear people suggested that teams plan on
construction with 13" wheels instead.  Since the diameter between 13 and 10"
tires is limited, they expect little transition problems for most teams.

Now how long will Hoosier hold out?  I suspect few problems since they are
the dominent player in the itsy bitsy tire size market.
