So I have Two questions for you Darksiders.
First, what do you think of these two tires for Tucson, AZ year round driving; http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/fin...=AZTINT&cs=195 http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes I am not sure if this is the kind of tread pattern I should be looking for. Second question is; Should it be Darkside (one word) or Dark Side (two words)?

Saw this on another forum (Darkside of course). Look at all those flat rear tires.

Opps. I forgot the CAPS LOCK. Next question would be;
If you were to put a CT on the front of an '06 Nomad, what size would it have to be? This is just a curiosity.

Im not going to. I just can't find a converter that would figure it for me. Like I said, it is just a curiosity. I Think I am going to pull the trigger on the Bridgestone Potenza G 109 Grid in 195/55R16. All the other tires I have had recommended are all very similar to it, but the Bridgestone is made in the USA.

With the 205/60-16 I just keep in mind to subtract 10%. i.e. 72 on the speedo = 65 on the GPS. If you don't know your own motorcycle, you shouldn't ride it in public. e.g. Patricia practiced for months after getting her M/C endorsement before she went 1 up on public roads. BTW, she's considering going Darkside when her OEM tires wear out.

Mounting
I am having trouble finding a shop in Tucson to do the work. Any suggestion? another forum lists Firestone @ Tucson Mall, but they no longer will wok on MC wheels.
