My CFO would have something to say if I were buying five sets of tires a year!  :o

My wife doesn't mind me buying tires when I save about $300 a month riding the C14 to work instead of driving the Expedition that gets about 10 mpg. But I do end up buying a new rear every month and a half to two months and I replace the front every other time. 

@ Bagger:  yes I do spend a lot of time out riding the great roads here in the Ozarks, I just need to get my bike put back together since I am starting to have withdrawls.
Keeping the economy going, one tank of fuel and two tires at a time.

 :)  I can dig it, JM.  I broke my right hand 8 weeks ago ... had to have the cast cut off after 3 weeks so I could detox.

I've had my wife change the tire on mine.  Staying off the highways means tires don't often see 4000 miles on the rear.
