    Fuel prices. Looks like Oil keeps coming down, ($87.00 per barrel today), however fuel prices are really slow to follow. Looks like the distributors want to add more $$ to their piggy banks and I do mean piggy.

    Gary,

    I agree with you, I see no need for BOTH systems. I have spoken to 3 owners here at Newell and all three like the Smart Tire. None have had a blow out (fortunately) using the Tyron Run Flat system.

    I guess they just like to spend money.

    Tuga, I noticed in the RV Business book that came today that Newell opened a sales/service location in Coburg Or. Now, all they have to do is open one in Florida and become more aggressive.

    Lew,

    I think that the Northwest area was chosen because of the lucrative California market and also Karl Blade is from that area. I agree Florida would be a good choice. Look forward to seeing you and Kathy this winter, we are going to try to make it down to PSL just don't know when!
