Oh yea I would just like to say that I asm done here. This thread has just turned into a head banging match, and has gone far enough for me. My final thoughts are that if you pay for cheap service by people without intamte knowledge of your machine. You might as well get Goober from the Andy Grifith show, and when you go back to that shop, and find that all of the employees have changed, or the doors were closed. You will know why.
Last word.

Normally I lurk a lot here but this is a subject so near and dear to me....
Having been involved with manufacturing all my life and watching so much of our manufacturing go out of the country to the cheapest source, and also having commanded a wage that is higher than most hourly workers, I say phoooooie to cheap labor. There IS no such thing.
I wouldn't buy the cheapest shoes; they'd make my legs hurt. I wouldn't want to fly in a plane if the air traffic controller was the cheapest that could be found. I wouldn't want to eat the cheapest food that could be sold or go to the cheapest doctor I could find.
If I needed an lawyer, I definately would not look for the cheapest one.
When I bought my Vision, I passed up the dealer that was the closest to me even though he probably would have beaten the price I paid at the dealer I did buy from because the place I chose to spend my money has a reputation for service. And I've received excellent service.
SO, while riding down life's highway on my Vision, I think not once about paying Randy's Cycle almost 300 bucks for the rear tire plus mounting, taxes, disposal fees, etc.
I can't imagine riding my bike with the cheapest deal I could find on a tire. I'm not that crazy.

WB:
Your post reminds me of a movie line that my daughter loves from "Mission to Mars/Armageddon" (1998) and goes like this;
' You know we're sitting on four million pounds of fuel, one nuclear weapon and a thing that has 270,000 moving parts built by the lowest bidder. Makes you feel good, doesn't it?'
Which was borrowed (and expanded upon) from the late astronaut Alan Shepard, who is quoted as having said "`I wasn't scared, but I was up there looking around, and suddenly I realized I was sitting on top of a rocket built by the lowest bidder.'"
I realize that paying more does not guarantee a better level of service or quality but ...........in my experience the cheapest products and services are usually the cheapest for a reason. |

Tucson, AZ | To answer my own question, the correct size Dark Side tire for the Vision is 205/60/16. I got the info from the Dark Side site;
