Default tounge in cheek

I had a car tire on the 11 Limited, but I traded that in March so I've been on the stock tire since then. Mostly, I hated the motorcycle tire. Being used to the CT on the 11 I kept forgetting to put my feet down at the stop lights and fall over.

3 months and I wore the POS of a stock tire out. Now I'm back on a SP5000.

Way smoother ride, tire is quieter, better stopping power, bike has 10 more HP, gets 8 more miles to the gallon and the stereo sounds better.

OK, OK, I guess about half of that is true.

Well, maybe not half, I never really fell down at the stop lights!

and every 10 to 12k you save another $400 by not having to go to the dealer for another POS tire.
