Guys..........gotta make a health & welfare visit on my Alzheimer's dementia'd sister in Farmington, N Mex, 1200-mi from Seattle. I thought I'd drive my 1976 MGB midlife crisis sportscar. Since I have 3-brands of tires on my Rostyle wheels, I thought I'd be smart and gitt NEW TIRES for the trip. I gotta $400 quote from Costco tire, 70-miles away. I stopped at my local Les Schwab tire store 10-miles away and they quoted me $500 for 195-14 tires. I always thought 185/70-14 were the "proper" tire for my MGB. So before I go "ranting" at Les Schwab, I thought I'd check with you guys.
I was planning to go the first of May while it was still COOL and return thru DENVER (7-mountian passes, whoopie!!!) and visit my cousin. My non-working speedometer shows about 35K-miles, and I have 32/36 Weber carb. I have a GPS speedo designed fer motorcycles which works just fine on the dash of my 1994 Dodge Diesel pick'em-up. Mentally trying to envision a radar detector hung from the rear-view mirror; ideas? recommendations? One thing I found out, I can't wear my cowboy hat with top-up (no room) or top-down (wind). And NO, I don't think motorcycle helmet is the answer either. The other half of the reason for trip to N Mex, is to inter the ashes of our brother in her vault along with her husband's. I do have Power of Attorney to do this. It only cost me $1700 to gitt his ashes away from the funeral home in Texarkansas, Tex. ..........enny word of wizdom???........tnx, Dell
