Ah! Kin Petro-Chemical Stater!
Yeah Strider, we've got no idea what's comin' our way until we look out the window.
Somethin' that worked for me when I was bikin' 99.9% of the time was a weather radio n' 4 separate weather agencies on line. After a while you'll start figurin' which is the most, least n' average reliable. Usually an average of all of 'em gives a pretty good idea of what might happen.
'Havin' the wife's whatever as a back-up is a definite back-way out if needed.
With the Dunlops I've had it out in maybe an inch n' a half, but only if it's done n' ain't gettin' r' threatenin' to get worse. If there's a doubt I'm puttin' my macho in my back pocket n' breakin' out the beast.
I like Stewie too much to risk leavin' it stranded in some roadside snowbank waitin' to be plowed like so much abandoned transportation.
Be well. Oh! What's the story with that 16" recommendation?
