Re: New Cyclone 3950 owner - not happy with Tires
Your dealer screwed the pooch on this one and the excuse of "I was only told to get American tires" doesn't and shouldn't fly. It goes without saying that when changing out the tires to an American brand, they have to change to properly sized tires as well.
The reason the gap changes is because you have leaf sprung axles and multiple axles at that. Because of the shackle system used the axles/tires will move forward or backwards depending on what is compressing and what is de-compressing as the various leaf springs go through their cycles. As long as the tires are sized properly this shouldn't be an issue, but with your new tires I couldn't really say. If it's any help, I have the factory original China Bombs on mine. They are wearing well and have given me no issues to date and so far they've been all up and down the Eastern US from Florida to Maine. I have no intentions to change them out just because they're of Chinese persuasion.
