Mel, I think someone was pulling your leg about " Steer Tires" ?
I could be wrong but I don't think there is an actual tire that is made specificly for the steer tires ? I think that is just a terminology made for the front tires. As in: I moved my steer tires to the tag, and replaced the fronts with NEW tires ?
As a side note, you should have called when you first came into Houston, instead of on your way out. You and your friend could have played golf at my course "Greatwood" and had lunch at my house. I make a great grilled turkey / cheese sandwhich.Maybe next time?
