   I ran bias ply tires on the pickup until I couldn't get them anymore. Back

   In Montana :) You've really got to go out of your way to find an   
   interesting road. It was a mix of driving, probably the major portion on   
   interstates, some gravel roads,   
      
   They were Bridgestone Potenza RE92s

   tire which I thought was odd.
