Well I reciecved that link in a pm where it read in English. I copied it and pasted it here, and for reasons I don't know it came out in German.

I went back to the pm and checked it there, and see English. I went to the site and copied that and pasted it again, and see English.

Are you saying you still see it in German? I even checked the 2nd links after I posted it and see English.

When it comes to running a pc I am a fools fool, but i do see English.

Maybe if you search Dunlop Sport Sp 5000 195/60 R16 and $77.00 you will get another link with that price..

I never ment to post anything in other than English since that is about all I can sort of text and sort of speak. I do much better with smoke signals...

Naw ,,,,, when I yank a crank I do that in my quassi engrish too. If I say anything in any other real language it is likey a swear word someone else told me to help picking up chics..

You say voolly vo and the chic gets pissed and clobbers you. The guy who gave you line gets a great big grin... Only if he can get back up from the hard belly laff that is.

I lost a verbal battle with a 10 year old in Purto Rico about the size of the Sun and the USa...

That kid had the idea where he lived was a large hunk of land, and I guess he still thinks so.

I don't speak Spanish either. I almost lost another little battle in Spanish when there as well, but this time with Cops.

On the map it was a no brainer from point A to point B, but the road was blocked off in person.

Something bad was up, but I never knew what. All I knew was to get on the road I needed wasn't going to happen unless a few saw horse road blocks got moved.

Once we were all on the same page, in other words the stupid Gringo was determined to move the saw horses and go on his way to get to point B everythiung fell into place.

One cop went on his radio yadda yadda yadda, and told the next cop I was headed, and move the bloomin saw horse, before the stupid gringo dod who knows what...

I can't spell this but when asking to use a mens wash room I was told to say "me'boya pottie R' " Which i think means "I am going to puke!" I really can't say, but it sure gets some action!

Would a basic bubble balancer work to balance the tire after mounting? Shed some knowledge cause this is intriguing. I like the part about pulling a trailer with ease.

How about just going with Dynabeads? They work.

I have Dyna beads in my rear tire, with out any test ride. I forgot and just installed them. So either the Sp 5000 car tire was perfect as I did aline the light mark to the valve stem or the Dyna beads at 2 oz are working just fine.

I just installed a new ft tire also a Dunlop but an mc tire, and remembered to test ride, and find I don't need even Dyna beads, but I have another 2 oz on hand.

I might drop them in for kicks and see what happens.

As I swap old tires for new I will be changing over to all Dyna beads. No more friggin ugly wheel weights which I can re-cast into something else.

My next rear tire will be the SP5000 w/ dynabeads. There is another thread here that put the same tire on the 1500 Nomad.

Thanks for all the info.......

When installing a new tire on either end, attempt to aline the light place marked by the factory, usually marked with a dot of some sort. Dunlop uses a dot that is either yellow or green and the yellow one looks like a target.

Then if the plan is Dyna Beads get them, but test ride first to see if you need them. You may not need them is certain tires.

I just lucked out I think, on my new ft... Seems smooth as glass, and this being a radial I don't feel the slowing sensation I did on the brick bias ply.

With all the rains I have less than 100 miles on the new tire, mostly chasing parts for other vehicals, so no MPG testing yet. I am just getting the mold release off still.
