I see, well you two are the first that I've seen who have positive news about the armor all.
This could also be an excuse for me to get a 2.25 up front so my speedo and more importantly, the odometer will be more accurate.
I've just read that a few people have liked the 3.00 on the rear for extra stability, and seeing as I've got a Lifan 140cc instead of the stock, more stability is good news for me. I don't know why, but I have this thought that since I upped the tire sizes on both front and rear, that if I go back to stock size on the front, I should go up one more on the rear to keep the stability that I've grown used to on the 2.50 and 2.75.
My tires are about 9 months old now.
Thanks for your help. I feel a bit better now about the whole armor all thing. Those tires sure do look good now though.
