Can anyone find anything wrong with the Kings 967's - the price is almost too good. Will Mike Peplinski wrote: I'm glad someone likes them.

I agree. I call them Slipsters on anything other than paved. I had a tire rep tell me they sure were popular with flat track racers. They suck on sand and gravel and mud. Criswell

Sorry eric, It was meant to be personally addressed to you, just whenever I hit relpy it drops it to the original poster instead of the list *shakes fist* Hmmm having lived in and visited many big cities I can say this much ... Small towns are certainly different. I currently live in a town of 1000 people. All I have to say is rural living/small town life is what you make of it. If you are incapable of amusing yourself then It's certainly not for you. If you are an individual who has to look to others to provide interest/amusement, It is not for you. But on the other hand, if you enjoy clean air, good schools, attentive friendly neighbours. Then perhaps it is for you. No not everyone is in construction or a walmart clerk, our closest walmart is a 45 minute drive. Yes we have a ton of people in the oilpatch, but thats just how it works, Calgary a city of close to 1million at this point has most people employed by the oil patch as well. I'm learning to love small town life. The biggest difference between cities and small towns..... "The people in small towns are there because they want to be, where as most often the people in cities are there because they feel they have to be" It makes for a better attitude Just my .02 and you just overpaid.
