I knew you darksiders were on to something so I decided to give Lightsiding a shot.... What's lightsiding you ask? Well its replacing you car/truck tires with none other than motorcycle tires. You would not believe the difference it makes in overall performance!

Equipped with MT my truck went from getting 19 mpg to getting 187 mpg!! The gas savings alone is incredible! Not only that but I can out run, perform, and corner a Bugatti Veyron! my 0-60 time is 0.12 seconds! I do the quarter in 2.3 seconds at nearly 300 miles per hour! And that's pulling a 9000 pound trailer! This is fucking amazing, I have no idea why everyone doesn't do it!! I have a cousins uncle, sister's brother's collage room mate who put MT on his Geo Metro and he now runs the indy 500 in it, lapping the lead car 20 times before finishing the race all the while getting more that 300 mpg!! This is incredible!!!

Of course I have no hard data to back any of this up but all the seat of the pants data says its true so it must be!!

Everyone should lightside their cage, the money you save alone in gas more than justifies it yet alone the performance gains!

lmao, you're such an azzzholio. Tiny difference, you haven't done that. I have ran the CT. I do believe that adds a bit more credibility to what I experience with it, but that's funny right there.

I wish Okie,

Not this year. Too much going on. Found an amazing woman who is crazy enough to marry me, got some long rides planned, and lots more work travel coming up. This summer I am certainly trying to pack 10 pounds of shit into a 5 pound bag.

But I will also not disagree, I am a stubborn, opinionated, asshole. It has to be my German/French ancestry.

That's cool. Mines German/Irish but I've learned to medicate it!
Congrats on the upcoming wedding. I've had several myself, lol, but 3rd time was the charm.

How does the bead seat? I understand there's another "lip" that a car/light truck doesn't have on a MT that might affect the seating. I'm thinking about going lightside when I get my Smart Car, that would make it fly and corner better than a Ford GT. Thanks for sharing.

The SMART already corners better than a Ford GT - IMHO per the seat of my pants. But if you are RIGHT - wow !!!!
