WOW! What a difference a car tire makes!!
Holy sh*t! It carves corners like it's on rails now, and brakes like right now stopping!
I fully expect to get 40,000 miles out of it easily, even with my aggressive accelerating and stopping. I wish I had done this years ago. OK, the tire isn't even here yet, but I wanted to try out the cult language and see if I've got it down well enough to join the group, or if I'll have to practice it a little more. :) Am I close enough to be trusted with the secret passwords and handshakes? Sorry in advance to those who will take this too seriously and not want to let me in the secret meetings as punishment for pulling your chain :(" title="" border="0"/> Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Dan, you need a little coaching but I think you may slide.

When you do order your tire Dan; make sure it has a mud and snow rating for your off road adventures.

I just about ran out and bought me a DS tire on that statement alone! Then I heard "April Fools" and my heart sank!

Actually Dan I'm looking forward to your critique on how the car tire handles from your point of view. Since you boldly take your nomad where others only dream, your perspective will be interesting. Though I think you will need to do it in chapters. Like the first 100 miles,then after 500 miles, then after you find your psi sweet spot. Please keep us informed when you do get your car tire.

Dan, Dan, Dan. You must not trifle with the Darkside. There is now a strong disturbance in the force. I'm sorry to inform you that the "Darkside Enforcer" has been dispatched to Denver. The "Enforcer" will have to correct your misdeed. Don't resist his commands when he arrives!

This is too funny (but perhaps you would have needed to be here). After writing my above post, I went to check the mail and my Car tire, and the Avon Cobra front tire were both leaning next to my door.
I ordered them from different places of course, but they both got here at the same time, as did the Dyna beads that came from a third supplier. Bob, perhaps I'm totally in tune with the force, and unknown to me, having one outside the door prompted the post. Well...maybe not :) |
