If I have to but new it will be back to the 29's and to a radial.....but like I said the tire wear is unreal...and its not because I'm being hard on them I think its just the amount of miles I drive...beig a DD is tough..an example is that tomorrow I'm heading to Laconia for bike week and that will be a quick 200 miles on them?? My bonnie trip was over 300 a trip into town will run 40 miles....but I'll be dam'd if I'm not going to drive the hell out of it...I may have to step back to the 70's ( YEK!!) for my DD stuff and save the tires for show'n tell

I don't plan on lowering it much more. I am going to build a new rear axle that will give me plenty of clearance....., .
