Thanks guys! Crazyhorse, it is soooo good to ride again! I still have to take it easy, but knowing I will make the West Virginia ride sure feels good. I have never ridden a bike with the 205 width tire on it so I have no idea how it rides or handles. But I know that all the guys that have them, like them. If I ever wear out this Austone I will get another!

The Austone is advertised as a 100,000 mile tire. If I get 25 to 30,000 out of it i will be totally happy. I normally get one season out of a set of tires so it will definately help pay for the front tire as well.

My friends that have tried the Shinko tires will never use them again. They all have had tire separation and lucky to have survived. They may have fixed their quality problems but I won't use them. Cost over quality has no place where a tire purchase is concerned. JMHO.
