Are you doing this because there's some kind of "gazebo challenge" on youtube?

Decided not to after all

I was going to try and make a new post about tires to see what people have now, how they feel about them, etc. because I haven't seen anything as recent for that sort of question.

But I ended up deciding on a set of tires myself anyway.

So, what tires did you decide on? I won't laugh, but, others might -

Survived the gazebo assembly debacle.
Apparently "4 people will take 2 hours to assemble" means 2 will take 8 hours. Mind you 3 hours were spend trying to make any sense at all out of the instructions.

Nope. Doing it because we discovered a couple of weeks back that you can not sit 12 people under the existing awning when they are trying to eat BBQ steak in a monsoon.

I doubt the massive amount of old info on the subject has changed.

Well I do agree with that, but when I was doing my research I'd see stuff like "that's an older type of tire design now and it's horrible compared to current tires", just after reading 20+ positive reviews on said tire.

Meh. Tire snobs will do that.

You made a good choice.
