[Staowners] Rookie says: Whitewall Tires + "Bulletin Board"

[Bob Hamilton]

Hi Ray,

Welcome to the email list. Unfortunately, the bulletin board was 
hardly visited and I my guess is because this email list works a bit 
better as the messages are delivered to you rather than a subscriber 
intentionally having to remember to visit the bulletin board 
occasionally. On top of that, I was receiving about 5 requests a day 
for registering approvals and from individuals whose intentions were 
for selling sex and other products so I closed it down. I think you 
will find this email list very helpful in restoring and maintaining 
your Alpine.

You will likely get a response from David Reina about the radial 
tires and sizes. Actually, if you visit 
<http://cokertire.com/>Coker<http://cokertire.com/> Tire's web site, 
they list the radial equivalent to the original bias ply 5:50 x 16" 
tires. I am running on the Coker B.F.Goodrich 5:50 x 16" WW (bias ply).

Hope this helps,
Bob
