Default My experience w/goodyear billboards :)

Hi Fred,
Would like to add to your positive feedback on BB's. My Backdraft came w/17" wheels and radial Goodyears. It would take very little to spin the tires. Changed the tires to Nitto radials. Little improvement but never liked the look of a low profile tire on this type of vehicle. Last Oct, had a chance to obtain 15" knock off rims that work on a Backdraft and decided to bite the bullet. Heard the same stories that you mentioned about BB's. Maybe, I'm lucky too...I love my BB's!
I will get some vibration when the BB's are cold, however they smooth out when they warm up. Traction and handling is awesome! And the look does not get much better.
