    Assuming same tire diameter, those Blizzaks are going to be lighter than the Trail Terrains, so better MPG. If there is a diameter difference, that...

    First a disclaimer, I got these for free from a pal that works for Moonlight. 186 Cruiser 'all terrain' (the heavier one), Alpinists on the line...

    I'm certain chains are far worse, plus they are usually on heavier vehicles. Modern stud design doesn't really cause extra road wear. Modern studs...

    That alone was enough to discount the rest of his post in my mind. Many other reasons too, but he can have his opinions, wrong though they be. And...

    E1 vs E2 difference is minimal. E1 takes up another 1L or so of volume and is a few grams heavier. E1 can use AA batteries to keep the capacitors...

    hola. yah I also managed to grab the last pair of 08 Gotamas I could find at Whistler Village Sports. 400 clams. so far, it's been cheaper grabbing gear here in Whis than anywhere online, including TGR.. with the dropping dollar, it's all changing. hey did you & yr gf find a place .. ?

    throw those park skis up on Craigslist, including Vancouver .. you should be able to move them. are you on newskoolers.com ? if not sign up, I'll invite you to The Shore cult, good people there, more park oriented, you should be able to move 'em through the site.

    fyi i grabbed those Dukes today at 440. seemed to be the best deal with the dropping dollar. they are 09 Dukes so I am happy. now just to find some 08 Gotamas for 400 bucks. that would make me happy. ;p

    oh -- and the Barons are a tad more plastic, toepieces it seems. they don't weigh all that much less. i'd stick with Dukes, as it looks like you gotta crank the heel on the Dukes a bit more than usual.

    well, the Barons were 400, the Dukes 500. I've got a line on some Dukes for 400.. the difference is DIN... the Barons only go to 12. Dukes to 16. I don't know how strong the DIN is on these bindings, so I'd prefer the Dukes .. but if you go into Excess, they will drop the Dukes down to 440 with a bit of sweetness. That's not bad for Whistler.
