New front tire tonight (pics)

[ky busa]

This tire had 7,000 miles on it. Reason for changing was it always had a slow leak. Now I know why. It looks like I messed up the bead on the tire. You can see the bead of the tire in one of the pics. The old tire still had about 2,000 miles of life left in it. I just got tired of checking tire pressure all the time. So I just put on a new one tonight.

Getting new tires is like getting a new girlfriend. Feels completely different.
