While I might kind of agree with the sentiment, that IS a pretty harsh way to say it.
Nobody likes to be called stupid (or stoopid, stupid!).
I posted that at the end of a really bad day and one of my pet peeves is when someone asks a question that the answer is obvious if they had only read the thread. Sorry Mandachan, I was lacking tact and a bit harsh. Hopefully you didn't take it personally and stick around. Keep us updated with your search for new tires. With luck, you won't have to go through all the hassle some of us have had.

Re: Tire questions

Actually, I DID read most of the thread.


Most of the people in this thread were talking about how hard it was to get Cheng Shin tires - I was asking about tires in general at a Suzuki Dealership, and was under the impression that Dunlops were easier to get then Cheng Shin as Cheng Shin will stop being made Janurary 2009.


This is part of the reason you don't have people ever come back, the calling stupid part. Because i DID read the entire thread before I posted. Yes, i skimmed over some posts because it's typically time consuming to read 5 pages worth of posts.

Re: Tire questions

Mandachan,

The name calling is unfortunate, but I think you'll find it's just a reflection of the Internet in general. GZ250bike.com is basically open to all, except spammers, and there is no screening of uses for civility. That being said, I think you'll find, despite the occasional potshot, that this site is a sort of oasis from the flame throwing typical of forums. If you read the "comments" section after any major news site, you'll see that public discourse on the Net is not exactly erudite. Hopefully the quality of the info posted will outweigh the rudeness.

The biggest tire you can fit without doing modifications is a 140/90-15.
