    The new tires that the dealership put on the truck are pretty aggressive and obnoxiously loud. I'm torn between replacing them with one size up (275/60 20) or just dealing with it and running them. I could probably sell them too. Hmmmmmm.

    The Taco is due for new tires this year as well, so that's a lot of tire $$ this year. Those 20's aren't cheap.

    My vote would be sell them, like you said they aren't cheap so you could offset the cost pretty well. Makes me happy I'm on the 18's

    I'm watching some Coopers on ebay right now. The same Discoverer AT3 as I run on the Green Bean. They're new, but 2021 stock, but have been stacked/stores inside. There are 3. A tire shop is selling them at a sizeable discount and free shipping.

    :notsure:

    Just checked again and the listing was updated to be for 4 tires. $1000. Not too bad.

    Friday. Just need to get to the weekend. It's been a week and a half and I'm toast.

    Any truck tire is steep money anymore. pay to play.


    Cheers everyone.

    oh yeah, aren't we s'posed to share our to do lists for the weekend?

    -Have a bunch of felled trees to make progress on. Spring is here and the lawn needs to be released.
    -Moto Maintenance-
    pull the forks on the GRiSO to replace the seals. One went bad, fork oil on the caliper.
    service the brakes on the G5
    Those are the two 'hottest' jobs, of M A N Y
    -make some headway on the training regimen for my pup. She's a stubborn, distracted, hyperactive little girl who needs to begin to understand that compliance =freedom, and not the opposite. Man, can she run.

    what you got?

    Quiet day for me. Change out our water treatment system filters and then trim the topiary before the rain. Then watching Hockey East tournament semifinals starting a 4:00

    Nice! My beloved Wildcats got their asses heartily kicked by the Black Bears of Maine, so I'm rooting for them to take it all. Steep assignment! My 'cats got everyone excited beating BU early on, but alas...couldn't maintain.

    you have a horse (or bear?) in this race CT? Or Just a fan of good hockey?

    I'm a Boston College grad so all in on my #1 Eagles and lookin' for the Black Bears over (it sucks to) BU.
    Been to BC/UNH at Whittemore a few times. Always enjoy seeing a game on the bigger ice.

    Got the Tonneau Cover installed. Roll-Up Hard top, with the look of a soft top. Secure along the entire length of the bed on both sides and full access to the bed when needed. Super low profile.

    Hey guys
    Been way to mentally busy today to post on my weekend go to shit.
    So did another wax/ polish in the bike.
    Pulled the solo blower to the front of the doors for tomorrow’s 2 to 4 with sleet at the end.
    Outside of that, ain’t doing much else this weekend.

    Most of my stuff is outside work at this point.

    My only dilemma of the day is to figure out the best time to do snow removal later today/this evening when it's predicted to change over to sleet/freezing rain/rain. Too soon and it'll be all ice, too late and it'll be several inches of heavy concrete. First world problems. Hard Tellin' Not Knowin'
