March / April 2016 14 TECHNICAL EDITOR By Karl Wilen T here comes a time in one's career when you have seen enough and experienced enough to be called an expert, a guru, a leader in your field, a know-it-all. Customers of mine have come to me seeking my insight from the simple rotational tire question to the more complex tranny advice. Hopefully I have put them on the right path helping them decide what to do next. Here are just a few of the questions I field on a daily basis.... They call me Dr. Karl.
