Tire Straw poll
« on: February 23, 2007, 05:46:41 PM »
Getting new shoes on the AV in the AM.  BFG T/A KO or Bridgestone DUler A/T Revo?!  My tire shop has both in 285-70-17

I have a tone of input from friends and family, but want some more opinions (not that yours will matter...).

I ran the Duelers on my seventeens and was really happy with the ride and performance. They were quiet and reponsive.

Just got home with the BFG's.   Glad I did as they are calling for an ice storm her in Indiana.   Will post pix later when my wife brings my camera home.   Thanks for all of the input (OK - my brother influenced me too).   I think the co$t will be worth it!

I know the feeling we had freezing rain, then snow, then freezing rain again.

I am just southwest of LAF so I get much of your weather.  I like the Imp, and would love to see more pix!  When I get my site hosted I will get all of my pix of my old rides and my restorations up there...

On just the 1st tank of gas (@ $2.45/gal) I am seeing almost a 2 mpg drop with the 285-70-17 AT's...  The tire shop put them @ 35psi (which seems OK and I would think any more would be really rough riding).  Do I use this to justify exhaust and intake work to gain it back?!
