New Tires

tire.jpgI spent quite a bit of time surfing the net trying to figure out what tires to put on Dasher-1. I called around for prices and settled on a set of Goodyear Assurance TripleTreds. I could have waited and found something better or maybe a better price. But time was also an element in this equation. Overall, I didn’t do too badly.

Having driven all of seven miles with them, I am unable to give you a good review. My initial reaction is they are much quieter than my other tires and perhaps softer – which worries me a bit.

This weekend, I want to check the tire pressures when they are cool to see what they’ve been set at. Tire places usually set pressures on the high side, but we’ll see. Honda recommends 30psi for Dasher-1.
