CROWN ME - I MADE IT TO THE DARKSIDE!

I finally found a local shop with a Potenza G009 in a 225/60, it was the shorter of the three I was looking for. My first choice was a 235/60, then a 225/65 - but I am actually happier with the 225/60 as it's narrow (but still wide 8.5 inch SW) and over an inch taller than the stock 240/50.

I took some pictures to post, except the treo phone isn't synching properly right now.

I took it for a 45 minute ride after installation - whoa, at 25 this thing wants to stand straight up all the time. I goosed it in some corners and it stuck like glue. The rain is intermitten right now and I've got to go to work.... I'm going to go ahead and take the bike - can't stand not showing off my new shoes!

Will load up some photos soon - just in 45 minutes my mind is changed - for good.
