  1. Truck tire advice

    in Dumpster

    Posted

    Master craft is a totally different tire from cooper, different compound and mix. Master crafts are junk. If they're not LT tires you feel like your in a boat with them. Coopers are awesome. How far are you from the Akron area? My dad ownes a tire shop, so decide what tires you want and ill call him to see if I can get you the best deal.

    Thanks for the offer. I'm in Dayton, so Akron is quite a hall.

    Ok, here is the deal. My truck needs new tires. It currently has P235/50r18's on it. They are Goodyear Eagle RS-A's and I hate them. I also have been looking at p235/50/18s and they are extra expensive due to them being a "performance" tire. They also all had an under 40k lifespan.

    I have a 2008 Isuzu i-370 (Chevy Colorado), needless to say it's about as far away from a performance vehicle possible. The wheels that are on it are off an 08 Colorado Extreme.

    I went to a few places and asked but none really wanted to answer my question of putting a different size tire on the wheel. Today I scoped out a brand new Colorado that had 265/65/18s on it. I would not be opposed to that size in the least.

    So questions that I have:

    -Will 265/65/18 tires fit my wheel?

    -Would this have any profound effect upon the turning radius? Do you think they would rub?

    -I'm guessing the rolling diameter of the 265/65/18 is going to be different than the p235/50/18, which means my speedometer and odometer are going to be off. Any ideas as to how much? I also read that possibly getting a HPtune done can correct the this issue. Is this true? If so any suggestions of places?

    -Any other issues that may pop up?

    Any suggestions/advice would be appreciate. Here is a picture of what it looks like now.

  5. Helmet with rear view mirror

    Actually seeing other angles of it's shell, it doesn't look quite as bad. And $400 is far easier to agree with vs. $700.

    The view is a much wider angle than I'd seen in the other other link too. May be something to look into afterall? Buy one up and post a review!

    My wife would hurt me if I bought one. I bought a new helmet last year, otherwise I may have considered this, or at minimum looked at one.

    I rode Sunday for literally 3 minutes. I was trying out my new phone mount, usb port and gopro. I would have gone longer but my tags may be expired.

    I spent some time today installing a dual usb port in the inner fairing. Already did the oil. All that's left is brake fluid change.

    Tags and then tire pressure check before rolling it out on the next nice day!

  17. Daughter's 1st B-day party ideas?

    Marion's pizza is free and most people like thier food. They also have entered the 21 century and accept card.

    Our daughter goes to gymnastics at Busy Kids on Wilmington. It's a nice place and they do parties there. Maybe not so fun for a one year old but definitely fun for 2-12 year olds.

    I tried to negate both my girls first birthday parties and didn't succeed, and I'm glad I didn't in retrospect. It's more for your memories than theirs. It is a great reason to come together and celebrate, just remember its really the only one for you. The rest really are for them.
