Hey Scott. I am finally able to take off the original tires and install new ones. I've run them out as far as i dare. About $153 for the pair and free mounting!
I merely shopped for a decent tire that was cheap, sorry, i admit it. I found a great deal on a 120/70/17 Conti-motion for the front and a 150/70/17(slightly taller then factory) Shinko SR741 for the rear. These should last me the rest of this season and hopefully until early spring next year.

Right before my eldest son and i head to Alaska early June 2019, i have chosen to put on a new matched pair of 705's just for that trip. They should last all the way up to Fairbanks/Artic Circle and back! We both only have three weeks off from work so i just don't have the extra 4 days to head up to Deadhorse. Once i return home i'll finish off what's left and install a nice set of Michelin 5s' that i've got my eye on! :{)
