Re: [Chrysler300] 300D Vibration

Agree about Michelins being best, and Bridgestone made in Japan are also 
good. I have had very poor luck with Uniroyal belts separating (Uniroyal 
owned by Michelin?) and some problems with Goodrich TA balance (also 
owned by Michelin).

I believe some - but not all - of the Cokers are made by Cooper who 
makes a lot of private brands - but I have no experience with Cooper - 
anyone out there care to comment on Coopers and their private brands 
(Mastercraft, Multi-Mile, Sigma, Tempra, Jetzon, El Dorado, etc)?

But unfortunately there are not a lot of options out there in the sizes 
and configurations for antique cars. Theres Diamond and Universal and 
American Classic, but I suspect they use mostly the same sources. Any 
one got another good source?
