Move to Germany

Hello from Germany, The family and I got here about two months ago and the truck got here two weeks ago. Some folks said I was making a mistake bringing it but I beg to differ. Attempted to sell it before moving but with gas approaching $4 a gal, people were insulting me with their offers. Truck is doing great on the autobahn and small mountains. I'm driving it harder than I did at home, except when I pulled the trailer, and again I am impressed. Cruise at 85mph and the truck is smooth and enjoys getting there. I will probably be looking for a tuner soon. No 87 octane on base. First tank was E10 90 and halfway thru second tank of 90 Super. I'll also be trying to figure out how tune the radio to even numbered FM freqs. No, the direct button function does not work. And, I'll need tires before winter. Opinions and recommendation on all 3 topics are welcome.

Tuner: Gryphon, if they ship internationally.
Tires: GoodYear Wrangler Duratracs
Radio: I don't think you can hit the even stations unless you buy a new Head Unit that can do that.

If PHP wont ship internationally, get a ShipitAPO address, PHP ships it to them, they ship it to you...

Tires- Duratracs are a good choice, gotta make sure whatever tire you get is rated to go 85+ MPH.. usually dont go that quick in the states.. My Ranger with the 35" bfg MT's(km1's) never went faster than 85 but usually around 75.
