Welcome to the Adventures of Shawn & Beth. This channel is mostly to share adventures of me, my family, cars, motorcycles, road trips, and anything else we can get ourselves into. #Tesla #Road Trip #Jeep Renegade #RC Crawl #Camping
I put many miles on a smart car. I loved it. Such a maintenance free car. If you put the same size tire that is on the back on the front, it will ride like a Honda, and changes the car completely. You won't be able to rotate them though because the rims in the back are wider than the rims on the front, but the tire fits on there just fine, and it completely changes the comfort level of the car. When you hit a bump you won't lose tooth fillings anymore. 😂 I wish somebody would have told me that when I first got the car. Nice video.

Thanks! I totally agree. I purchased new wheels and placed 205/50-r15's on all four. It totally changed the ride and handling characteristics and made the cross country ride really enjoyable.

Hey there Shawn, really enjoying your videos of your trip from MD to Colorado. While I find your music soothing to listen to I really like to sit back and listen to the sound of the wind and the bike as you cycle down the highways and byways. Mobile safe and remember "You always meet the nicest people on a Honda" 😁

Sweet trip I have a 2005 Goldwing what car tire are you using on your back tire?
@shawnls12 ай бұрын
To be honest, I didn't know if I would like darksiding, so I purchased a really cheap tire from Pepboys ($60 - Definity HP800) first to try it out. Well it's been over 20k miles and rock solid since. I'm replacing it this season with a better (name brand) tire, but I haven't decided on which one yet. Looking to find a run-flat, although based on this little cheap tires performance, I'm not sure why I would want to do anything different at this point.

Hi there, you è given me a great idea. I’m likely to purchase one within the week if all goes well and I will aim to do what you are doing but around Europe. Likely France, Spain Italy, but more importantly camp with it too. I have an old Porsche 911 (993 cabriolet) which I’ve used to do road trips (more recently last year round france and this year August around Spain) and also have a Merc estate. Should be fun to do something different and I like your idea very much. Enjoy brutha 🙃👊🏿👌🏿

I have brass in both but much more in the Sport as we do more crawling with the Sport vs the Defender. I've seen Defenders (with the Defender body) do well, but it takes a lot more weight and tuning to get it to perform even close to the Sport. I stumbled across this hobby by accident and the wife decided she wanted to play, so she went out and got her own truck. The rest is history. It's awesome to find hobbies you and your significant other can enjoy together. *Let me add - if you place a smaller body on the Defender, it's almost unstoppable.
