Title: Darkside News Post by: Houdini on September 14, 2013, 09:59:43 PM Took a friend to the darkside Saturday and want to share a few of my experiences. With no planning we went to Discount Tire to grab a tire, to my dismay the Falken Ziex 512 is no longer available, it has been replaced with a asymmetrical 612. The choices of symmetrical tires in our size that they had in stock was zero. Zero!
Falken Ziex 612, not as cool looking as the 512 but has a similar profile. (http://www.discounttire.com/product/tires/t_20120102.falhze.ang.jpg) Do not go to the Discount tire on Ohio in Plano and say the words darkside or motorcycle, they refused to sell us a tire because "a car tire on a motorcycle will not corner and I couldn't, in good conscious, sell you this tire". True story. So then we drove to: Discount Tire 2260 State Highway 121 Plano, TX 75025 (214) 547-0673 Where they were good with putting a CT on a MC and happily sold us a tire, give 'em your business. My buddy decided to go with a Kumo tire with an asymmetrical pattern 'cause that's all they had. The Firestone in Allen on East Main mounted the tire for free since they couldn't put they mounted a car tire on a MC rim on an invoice, the tire guy earned a nice tip for himself. So far, Rudy loves being a darksider.

True story. Those who say a thing is impossible should not interrupt those who are doing it. :uglystupid2: |
