--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In August '06 I ended up buying a few new tires. I made the unfortunate aquaintence with a large construction staple in one of my stock Goodyear RSA tires, and they weren't able to patch the holes as they were too close together. The RSAs are pretty expensive, and aren't that great of an all around tire so I decided to upgrade. Incidentally I had about 20k on the OEM tires, and there's maybe 6 months left on the other two.I bought two Yokohama YK520 tires. They cost much less than the RSAs, have better wet/dry traction, are quieter, and came with a 60k mile warranty. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In November '05 I received my new custom deadpedal by Sok07 . I went with black so I could have just a touch of class that wouldn't stick out too much.
