Thanks for the reply! I have a nice 6 hour round trip tow this weekend up through the mountains of NC and TN. I'll see how it goes and take a close look at my tires at gas stops. I was hoping I could squeak by a while with the OEM's since we paid cash for the new TH! Funds are a bit tight for a few months.
