    PS Do some burn outs on dirt and make sure to get the edge of the tire good and clean to remove all the mold release that is on all new tires.....M/C and Car tires

    Assurance TripleTred All-Season Goodyear Is the best tire I have found looking at the tires at tire rack Click on a tire there and go down to the bottom of the page they rate the tire there so you can see what is best for traction and wet conditions .

    I do not think that it would be a good tire for you. It has little to no wet weather capacity and needs a lot of heat to provide max. grip Yes a 50 tire will increase rpm.....But I like that about my tire.......A 70 will be like having an overdrive Just depends on what you like...

    The 225 is not necessary there are a lot of guys running 205. You will 3 x the straight line grip with the dark side .....205 to the 245 The wider the tire the more it wants to stand the bike up.....That is something you will have to get use to and the the extra counter steer you will have to...

    Smaller guys seem to have more issues with the rear locking up. They seem to move forward in the saddle adding weight to the front of the bike. I being an old fat man always try to keep as far back in the saddle to add the weight to the rear. Me I try to use 80% rear brake and 20% front

    Need help choosing a tire, please.

    I'll throw out my 2 cents worth. I did a lot of looking when I went to the dark side. I wanted the softest tire I could find...for traction. Next I wanted the best at wet weather capabilities. I went with a Goodyear F1 eagle GS D3 225x 50x 16. I don't think they make that tire anymore...I...

    215x 60 or 225x 55 nothing bigger I am running a F1 Goodyear Eagle DS-D3 it is 225 x50 x 16 set at 24 psi. I love how this tire sticks when it is warm and great in the wet too.

    What I was trying to say was to take the rear wheel and new tire to a shop that has a no touch tire changer. I bet those fancy tire machines cost 10 - $15,000 I have heard of guys using a grinder to cut the bead of a Metz tire off of the Rocket wheel That is why I have 2 rocket rims, one for...

    Lup I have changed out 100's of tires in my younger years with large hand tire changing tools, mostly 3 piece rims. There is no way I would attempt to try to change out a rocket rear tire with large tire changing tools even if I was 25 years old again. There is no way to do it with out tearing...

    I would not use it to remove the wheel. I have one an in no way is it close to being stable. It is a pain in the butt just to get it balanced on that jack. I bought it just to clean the rims and tires. I use straps and a hoist to lift the rear up to change to the dark side and back I think the...

    Yes they are....for sure! You can believe that I would have hated for him to come to my room and ask / demand his key back and Not knowing where it was..LOL I don't thing he would have beaten an Ol'man to bad trying to get the key back Now it would be different if I had known where it...

    What was so killer awesome is he laid the key down and for 3 + hours he was looking for it everywhere. Lonzol was just about to come to my room and discuss the missing key:eek: I can just imagine on how that conversation would have progressedo_O He knew what I was up to, he hid the key just...

    If it is all around your waist line and goes from your boobs to your pubic.......Yes.....7 inches =100+ lbs.:D:D OH, before anyone thinks there are certain people on this forum I dislike that is so far from the truth. On this Forum I only have Hero's, Family and New Friends from all around the...

    Stay out of this ...Im fat too.............:p:p You know how much I hate you anyways..........:roll::roll: Zone You are right when it comes to you and your bike. If you do not feel secure then you should not use a car tire. All I meant was if you gave the car tire a fair chance in warmer...

    Bull You are absolutely right, it will drift on a uneven road surface but not much. I compare it to riding a m/c at speed on a gravel dirt road. I think most people are afraid to ride at speed on dirt roads due to the drift or floating as I call it. Me I enjoyed it, I am talking about large...
