They're a bit pricey, but dang, if I can get 80,000 miles out of them, it's worth it.

The Geolanders have been around for quite some time and are gaining in popularity. I don't have any personal experience with them, but see them alot here in the 109 Parking lot and folks that I know that have them, seem to like them.

Dunlop maked a good tire for F/S trucks and SUVs too. My mom put them on her Exploder and they've been wearing really well too. Good wet traction. I just don't recall off the top of my head what they are.

Do you mount and balance bike tires too?

I know our members are getting tired of paying dealer prices.. ($260 for rear on my bike) and other then doing it ourselves we don't have many options. May be able to spread the word for you!

Right now I have;

Do you think it would be stupid to go with;
P275/70R16

A little height and width.
