Title: Got New Rubber today
Post by: ACE on April 07, 2004, 04:52:16 PM
Well, since the budget was limited I had to get what I could and the parentals helped out 100 bucks with my 120. I got some cheap Kenda 130/70 and 110/70, they ride really good. They havent been worn in really good yet so the sidewalls make them look kinda "off-roadish" with some minor knobage close to the sidewall. oh well, next time i'll get some dunlops or something nice. just thought i'd share

p.s. since i was getting them switched out at the shop, i went ahead and did a huge burnout that left smoke about 20-25ft high. i was suprised it didn't pop. I had 0 tread left.

... did you pay $220 for those tires?  I don't want to say it but ... I think you paid a lot for those Kenda's.  You could have got some Meztelers for less.  I think Metzelers are better too ... just going by what I was told when looking for tires.

I have to agree with the others.  I got my BT45's for $190 after tax.
