    Try the specifications section of the manual. It doesn't list the battery type, but list the tire sizes in the tire section. In the 2016 manual the specifications start on page 171. Tire sizes front: KR31 165/55R15; rear: Kr21 225/50R15. Should have looked more closely at the sign. Dale

    Jim,
    You need the Shop Manual for the Tire Battery sizes...
    AutoZone might be able to cross-reference you something out of their Wiper Battery section!

    I would say yes. Everything that runs needs to be powered by something. Since the is not set up for solar--it's all in the particular batteries that power the particular unit in question.

    If you were also using them to power the glo-ryders that can also be a problem.

    I dunno Bob, I reckon I like the Aussie version better!! Here's how they teach us that it's very important to put the comma's in the RIGHT place! (You can even buy the book if you like!)

    A wombat eats roots, shoots, and leaves.... sounds reasonable doesn't it? The Furry little dump trucks will eat anything vegetable, so what?!? All it takes is to put just one of those commas in the wrong place & the wombat morphs from the Furry little dump trucks they are, into a randy little bugga ie: A wombat eats, roots, shoots and leaves!



    Still, it's clear that you are correct in your thought that 'Punctuation does matter', even if it really matters, rather than maters!! Your Mother (& your Latin & Grammar Teachers) would be sooo upset with you for getting that one wrong!

    You are absolutely correct! I thought I got all those.

    What is it with autocorrect on an iPad (altho admittedly I am using 'voice to text' software that works fine everywhere else?)? It even tried to put an apostrophe in truck('s) and to add an apostrophe & an s to Bugga('s)?!?

    Maybe they do it that way because their prices are everyday, i.e., not out of the ordinary! Makes it a pretty blah feature of Walmart, doesn't it?

    That reminds me -- I haven't yet changed the air in my tires from summer weight to winter weight. Maybe that's why my Spyder's handling funny.
