Never done it before.  I expect to do the nutcage mod. 

I am pretty handy, and can do a fair bit of wrenching... but I am slow. 

Going V rated Falken 205/60R/16.

It took me several hours to do all of the mods to get tire clearance, and one full riding season to recover from a ruptured disk in my back for trying to install the tire without help. It a heavy fella, work smart!!

Resistance is futile; if less than 1 ohm.

The nutcage mod took me about 5 minutes with my dremel tool and a cutoff blade. Most of the time was spent putting the blade on the dremel.  The cutting took less than a minute.  That was the only mod I needed to run my Falkien 512, 205/60/R16.  I run the Falkien at 35 psi solo and 37 with the wife and stuff for a weekend.  It hasn't rubbed anything yet in 15K miles.
