Well they made a difference no doubt about it.

First thing I noticed was that I wasn't scraping my belly on EVERYTHING. The extra clearnace was the first big plus.

Basically everything positive I have to say about them has to due with clearance.

If I had to talk about the negatives, it would be steering. The rubbing is a bit of a nuisance, but the other thing that concerns me, is if the steering components can handle the bigger tires.

My steering seems to be fubared right now, but I don't know if I can blame that on the tires yet, so that's why I haven't mentioned it.

At one point my tires were completely pointing inward, and I thought for sure I had busted a tie rod. This was on the first trail of the first day. Everything looks fine under there, but when I turn right, and then straighten out, one of the tires stays pointed out, and drags to the point that I can here scraping rubber on the road for a few feet before the tire straightens out.

I have to take it in to have it looked at.
