looks good. Have fun putting them back on. I put my rear wheel back on yesterday, and it was
one of those days I had to struggle to get the drive shaft back in... after a while, for no obvious good
reason, it went right in...  coolsmiley

Hoser: That rear tire looks nice, keep us posted on the mileage, I would really like to get more than 8000 miles out of rear tire. (I know, I know) the throttle thing!

That is the correct size of the oem tire.  It is a front tire.  I have 16k on the one I took off, it still has some left, keeping it for emergencys.  These are bias ply tires, IMHO they wear better, and the load rating is higher than radial tires.  I can't tell any handling difference.  Hoser

thanks
i may pull the front one a little early, i like the bias tires also. i just like the way the larger tire fill the fender. racks up less miles also.
good lookin tires, i have this bookmarked so that will be my next front.
CT in the back. 16,000 and counting.
