Darkside - Page 2

My 205/60 altimax didnt want to fit, but it is on there and I can see light if I shine one up from under the swing arm. I think I will go to a 195/60 next time or sooner if I see any wear on the sidewall. But with only 250 mile I am sold, I love that tire. As for the front I put a ME880 (stock size) 150/80r16 front tire on. if I can get 15000 out of the factory tire then I should pull a few more out of a Metzler.

Um, yeah, good luck with that...

mmm darkside.... I hear they have cookies (it makes sense if you've seen the image with cookie monster).
Is it wrong for me to want my rear tire to wear out prematurely so I can justify going dark?

Just because you finally join the dark side, does NOT mean that we have to share our cookies! All we said was that we have them. Not that we'd share them.

that's about as warm a welcome as when I was riding with a bunch of HOGs, and the 3rd day into the trip they realized my ultra nomad was a metric!
(no wait, they were still more welcoming...)
