Transitioning to the Dark Side - a Detailed Log
Written by shotcoy on 3/27/2011 at 12:29 am

Tim: Thanks for the detailed report and looking forward to ongoing reports.
There is little I can add, but mount the tire in warm conditions(and/or warm the
tire), clean/polish the rim prior to mounting, and carefully apply your chosen
tire lubricant(to both the tire & rim). I also agree with your description of
riding characteristics. I bought my 2nd BFG last fall for about $79(out the
door) from my local tire dealer. My 1st one will be wearing out soon as I have
over 20,000 miles on it(see post # 99026). I just checked at tires-easy.com and
found the BFG for $44.50 + 19.31(shipping to my zip code)= $63.81. Looks like a
helluva deal. However, I have no experience with this retailer. Best of luck
with your new tire. Enjoy fun & safe riding!

PS- I know the PC is not a dirt bike, however we still have many gravel roads in
my area. This BFG offers great stability on such roads and driveways.
