But I agree... with the miles I am starting to put on, I should start leaning to DYI.

I can't believe I mounted a new Metz 880 the first of April before heading to the Maggie Valley trip and here I am replacing it again, 7 months & 14,000 miles later.

Well, it looks like my measurements were on spot. The Dunlop 160/80-16 Elite 3 slid right in there where only a 150 is supposed to go. Now the test begins. I sure hope this E3 lives up to its reputation, cause I was awful happy with the Metzlers.
