Which Tires Would U Recommend

  • Before I admit up to a Rookie error, I did do diligent research, I wanna thank everyone!

    I went with a Continental Extreme Contact DWS +06...

    Discount Tire is 40 miles one way, tire arrived and we made a 1pm that afternoon appt. It's already past 11, and 42 degrees.

    I get the impact gun and find the socket. Turn on compressor and string out the hose. Scotch the front wheels.

    I drag the 3.5 ton floor jack over and get it into position only to realize the jack is too @#$$&*)($! high!

    By now it's almost noon, temp is around 46...

    Great Day For Ride!

    When they put the tire on, I realized the tire tread wasn't symmetrical, which was one of the things I had been checking. Oh well, it's got a 60,000 mile life expectancy...which means I either ride it until it wears out...

    Or I can complete in the Burnout competition at SSITS! and get a new one!

    It made it all the way up to 53 degrees before I made it in!

  • Plan on 60,000 miles on a rear tire---dought it .... I get more miles than lots of the guys and I get between 20,000 and 25,000. And I have 120,000 in the seat of a Slingshot.
