I am now "officially" on the "Darkside"!
Had the Bridgestone Turanza EL400 installed today, so far so good, I cant notice much difference in handling, but it no longer howls/hums on corners. Old tire was "cupped" for sure! Dark tire is about 2 inches wider than old tire, not sure if Dark tire sits any lower or not?
No trouble with mounting, or installing. Total cost $130. for tire and $40. for mounting and balance. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

What bike is it on? A 1500 or 1600? Hope you like it. I'm probably pulling mine off in a few weeks.

I think you'll be very pleased with the change. The more you ride on it, the better it gets.

"What bike is it on? A 1500 or 1600? Hope you like it. I'm probably pulling mine off in a few weeks."
Mine is a 04 1500 FI What kind of tire are you pulling off? How many miles on it? Somebody said they had about 17K miles on their Bridgestone EL400 and it still looked "like new"! I am running 32 PSI. |

I am ABOUT TO enter into the darkside... need to get it installed ASAP! Great to have support as NO ONE I know who rides thinks it's a good idea.
