    Default Holy Shamoly!

    That's a Bobby Dazzler. Opps, sorry wrong tv show.

    Hi Folks, Just had the Formosa AZ01's and the Toyo Proxes 4 put on, balanced and a laser alignment. What a difference. At speeds over 85KPH ..... no more blurry mirrors and no more shake and bake in the front end. Yup back tire was done ( near wear bars) and front's still had 65% all in 10,000"Kilometers".
    Thank's to all who posted advice. Now --- on to the belt vibration damper... Best one?

    All the best,

    I have Doc Humphrys belt damper and have had zero issues for over 10K miles. Good to hear about your positive results with tires. Maybe BRP and/or the dealers will begin to realize they are losing market share of tire replacement sales as more and more of us convert...... Jim

    Not just Me , but a lot of here have " discovered " that having the drive belt tension ( for RT ) at 160 lbs. ( ON THE GROUND ) seems to make the vibes go away ….. Mike

    Docs dampener for over 10,000 miles and it works great. I dropped belt tension to 160 on the ground and while it did improve things it took the dampener to smooth things out.

    I had a Roadster Renovation “million mile” dampener on my F3 T and, at just over 50,000 miles, it self destructed and took out my belt. I’ve decided that a little vibration is better than wasting money on this product.
