    I have a pair of Hoosier cheater slicks mounted on black spoke wheels and screwed to the wheels that I would like to sell. They still have good tread on them. I will take $150 for everything. I believe they are 255-60 x 15s. They fit my Maverick fine.

    Redford is between Detroit and Livonia. You are about 1 1/2 hours from me.

    John,
    I will see what I can get tomorrow. Is there anything else you need? Do you have anything I might be interested in? My e-mail address is miricharts@aol.com, why don't you e-mail me direct?

    John,
    What have you been doing with yourself? I haven't heard much out of you lately. You'll never guess what my son did. He just bought a '73 Comet LDO the same color as "THE MAV". It is a nice driver now and only a six, but he has plans for it, with me as his advisor of course.

    I have a set of M/T ET Streets, 26X10.5 on 15X8" rims.

    They are pretty much dead on size-wize with 245/60r15s.

    I measured them all around and they are almost identical, and will fit with no issues (depending on back-spacing)
