Finally bit the bullet

[mjn]

3600 miles and it is all done. The good news is that I used ALL of it....no flat spot in the middle...

No, I didn't run it to the cords. Haven't taken it out of town, or much past 70 mph in the last 200 miles.

Ordered it from mawonline.com. A Boise Id company. Got it (B56) for 125.95 + 9. shipping.

A month or so ago, there was a thread about tires where a member offered them for nearly the same $, but I searched for it and couldn't find it...oh well.

Now I can't wait til tuesday.......time to roast what is left!!!!

Might as well!!!

[StreetnTrack]

what size?

If you watch their site they occasionally run the changer and cycle attachment both for less than $80... I got mine for around $70 on sale.

And yeah, once you learn how to use the changer it makes using spoons unthinkable.

It helps to have a second set of hands available when you use it, but I've done it by myself several times. Hit me up when you get one and I'll give you a few pointers to shorten your learning curve with it.

For both the changer and the cycle attachment? They're sold separately. If it's both for $50... buy TWO.

I just checked.. the cycle attachment is $50 as well, so that's $100 for both. I got both for $70...
