Sticky For TIres

[Knizar]

Couldn't find edit so I did this. But that's the Idea. Looking for comments, Pluses & Minuses.
Now I see the Edit

Maybe add one more detail : such as: Kumho KU-22, or Kumho KH-16, :
would like to know the type or model of tire, only trying 2 help! :thumbup:

There is now a Sticky at the top of Spyder General Discussion for you to provide details of the a/mkt Tires you are running on your Spyder.

There is also a Sticky at the top of the Can Am Ryker General Discussion section for those with Rykers to provide details of the a/mkt tires you are running on your Ryker.

Just want to say that I really like and appreciate the new tire sticky for the Spyder. THANK YOU!!
The structured format is exactly what I have been looking for to more easily be able to find the information I need pertaining to my year and model of Spyder in order to purchase the right size car tire for replacement …. and for which wheels… front or back..
Since Spyder tire sizes are different from car tire sizes I do not know EXACTLY what size car tire to buy just by going to a tire dealer’s website.
In perusing the jillions of tire threads I have several pages of notes I have jotted down so that when the time came to make an actual purchase hopefully I was buying the correct size tire…my notes all end with: ??
I have a few thousand more miles before I have to make the replacement purchase but at least now I will be able to make a proper decision pertinent to my vehicle.

P.s…. I also appreciate that members are putting the year and model in their signature.
Members have some really good skills, experience and information but it is frustrating to figure out later it doesn’t pertain to my year and model Spyder.
Thank you members for updating your signature area.

How about a " templet" that can just be filled in so there is some consistency in the thread????

That's something that's not easy to do..... if at all possible! I don't know if this version even supports them?! :dontknow:

That said, if you just use the mouse to select/highlight the important bits of the previous post, then copy & paste it into your post before editing out their tire details & putting your own in, you've achieved the same result with just a few clicks! hyea:

Might be a bit harder on a phone, but if you know how to select & copy text then it shouldn't be too hard to paste & edit the details in your own post. :thumbup:

I hear what you’re saying, but personally I think that way will discourage many. For the computer literate folks, I should think that someone should be able to devise a template that works on this system, especially in this day and age. jmho

Peter Thanks for the your support ...... I get dozens and dozens of PM's asking me for info about tires ..... and I answer ALL of them, to best of my ability .... As I stated earlier I don't KNOW everything about tires, especially the " OFF " / ODD brands. .... I do report on what I find for tires that perform at the top of the heap ( which is small because of the sizes we need ) ..... You have provided tons of Accurate info and I thank you for that .... I'm a p*ss poor typist so I try to consolidate my thoughts ....... Mike :thumbup:

What I would suggest you do, if you haven't already, is write up your recommendations and supporting information that you usually share in a document you keep on your computer. Then when a PM comes in just copy and paste the text of the document into your reply, adding responses to a specific question or issue if one was asked. That'll save a lot of typing and time.

Sure, if you're skilled at that sort of thing you can do anything you want with a computer system/software package, but when you're running a software package that's been developed by someone else with a given set of parameters/to do a given range of things that's been tested & developed over the years to do that range of things reliably, adding in odd bits &/or templates like that makes the platform unique, a lot harder & more expensive to maintain, and without a lot of tedious & expensive testing, you'll never know where adding in a change like that might create an issue by interacting/conflicting with another bit of code... potentially making the platform unreliable & possibly even bring the platform down! :shocked:

I can understand why the bloke who pays to keep the Forum running wouldn't want to start paying for tweaking bits & bobs like that; and I can understand why the bloke who does all the admin & software maintenance doesn't want to take it on either.... and as a member & user here, I reckon I much prefer the Forum to remain as stable & reliable as it has been, and as cheap to us as members as it has been too!! :thumbup:

This is how I created my post. I did a cut and paste from Peter's post,removed his info and added mine. Very simple, easy and sort of quick.
BTW thanks Peter for the format.
