      I do.  Desiree felt the same way. She noticed it immediately.

      It took you this long to get a 240 tire???

      I had mine on within 200 miles of owning my new Raider.

      My shop wouldn't install it on my last tire, so I found a new guy said he will charge  $65 per tire for installation.

      I just swapped over to the 240. I only have about 100 miles on the tire, and have been a little gentle on it, but I can feel a difference. Whether that is because I went from a Metz 210 with about 10,000 miles on it to a new tire, or because it is a 240, that is yet to be decided.

      Dreadly you're the 2nd guy said the performance isn't any better, in fact last guy said it was worse.

      When I put on my 240, it seemed better at first, but I think it was mostly psychological. Kind of like when you were a kid and got a new pair of sneakers. I definitely think it looks better, and cost less than the stock tire!

      $65 per tire, is he kissing you first?  Lol I do my own is a little of a pain but at least If I scratch my wheels I can't fuss about it most shops around here will scratch them changing tires

      Ya know, I can do it but for $130 I can drop it off and no tire changing spoons to fight with no wrenches at all and he balances them I don't know if it's beads or weights yet but who feels like it anymore I'm F'n 50 I'll pay.

      You can't be serious. was it because it wasn't recommended, or di they just not want to change and balance a tire?

      Because it is wider than stock so they didn't want to get caught with a problem, they said they would do it this time but wouldn't give me a firm price, they said it would be an hourly charge. That's why when I spoke to another guy said $65 per tire it sounded fair to me no wrenching for me.
