We only do the rear on cruisers. Yes, the 205/70/15 and 205/65/15 is a possible also for sizes of the darkside! We don't do the front tires because none of us have problems with the fronts and they usually last a long time! So why fix something that's NOT broke! I just couldn't stand getting 5,000-7,000 miles out of a rear! Plus it's possible because of the geometry to get onto the sides walls if you put it on the front!

I swapped my Dunnie front for an AVON Venom-X and like it alot. I've got around 6K on it now, and still have a lot of tread left.

I found a local stealer here that sells tires at their price. Got mine for 82 bucks.

I really like Continental milestones front and back. (although I'm running a grabber on the rear now) I'm getting around 14-15k on my milestone front and was only getting around 8-9k on the dunlops. A rear Dunlop will only last me 4,500-5,000 at most and the milestone is good for 7-8k on the rear, plus they handle better than any of the other brands I've personally tried.
