[QUOTE="user 213, post: 684223, member: 213"] Hello! That's exactly why I did it! 20-30k a year is my average, but even 3 sets of tires a year is spending more cash on tires and less on gas than I want. It's all in the wrist Smitty. Road surface, temperatures and twisty Vs slab play a part, but the biggest reason is in the wrist. Abrupt throttle changes eat tires. Smooth makes them last. It's up to you to decide if smooth makes your riding less fun. See, only a woman's shoe, (probably just said that 'cause it was what he was wearing at the time.) Skoot's such a pussy he wouldn't even ride the Darkside to see what it's really like when he was offered a chance. :rolleyes: They are full of shit. If you did something incredibly stupid and then filed a lawsuit trying to make money, sure, they would look at everything. The original Darkside thread covered this. My agent said as long as the tires are round, black and have tread, they won't get a second look. Ditto for comments from an Insurance Co crash investigator. Unless it's obvious that the tire played a role in the accident, (like half off and jammed the wheel), no one is likely to care. [/QUOTE]
