First time to hear about this Indonesian made tyre! Interesting indeed, this country is the second-largest producer of rubber after all...
Thank you mate.

Yes, I know it's a 55, but unlike the vast majority here, the 'then' when I bought it was a much better vehicle than it is now. After this travel trailer trip to Death Valley we had another kid who will be 29 this month. The wagon had to be in service every day as our DD. Her big deal, yearly trip was cross country skiing at Manning Park in BC. Ever seen that 'Highway to Hell' tow truck show? That's how ya get to Manning Park and most of that white stuff you see on that highway isn't snow..... It's heart and soul lives on, as we drove it yesterday on a firewood run.
