only sensible thing this state ever has done. Do away with stickers showing valid registration.

Pills work ok, started taking a liquid a few years ago, seems to work a little better. I miss a day here and there without problems, but wondered once if I was over the pain, quit and in about 2 weeks, pain came back and took another week to get back to normal. Won't try that again. I've had a life that was rough on knees, paid for it, too. Those "can do anything" 20's and 30's years don't last through the 40's for many of us.
yup low an slow.

If the bikes stayed the same price, I'd like my truck to be cheaper.

Thise aren’t the kind of things you’re ever concerned with after purchasing those. Gonna be loud AF, take a lot of power to get them moving but should be OK in snow

noise went up a bit. Handling won’t be found out till it snows. I’m at or below the speed limit with these tires so handling is a mute point.
As for the old ones they were Kumho. Oem ‘s.
I went up a few sizes so the speedo will be off a bit but like I said at or around the limit anyways so even that doesn’t matter too me.
Cooper started making these last year. Good tire for the money. But not with raised white lettering so me and the missus did these during football.

Could say it makes sense because they're usually only used half the year, but politics and good sense don't always agree.

Did you happen to see what Minneapolis's mayor said about the 11 wounded and 2 killed in 48 hours? "It's about the guns". Wants more gun control. He should take a look at what culture these shooters came from. Few legal purchases, concealed without permits, and a lot of fully automatic weapons the past couple years. Pass more gun control...
