I thought it was time to change out my tire. Since I couldn't get another Michelin, I went with the Pirelli.

Thanks. How is your Michelin holding up?

Oh, I was reading past posts about the Darkside recently, and I came across your question. I didn't see it back then when you posted it.

I have about 20K I conservatively estimate on my Michelin Primacy Alpine 3. Last week I ordered a 195/55R-16 Pirelli Winter Snowcontrol Serie 3 Run Flat 210 from Tirerack.com for $162.00 shipped. Should be getting that tomorrow. I do have a spare wheel that I will have it mounted on.

I think I still have adequate tread depth left for the upcoming Franklin, NC trip. Here is a current pic of the Michelin that's on it.

I played momentarily with the idea of getting another Bridgestone G704 radial but then came to my senses. Why pay almost twice as more for a M/C tire, when these car tires give you way, way better longevity, and the same (if not better) performance for cruisers as what we ride here?
