    Tire Pressure - Who TF Knows? 🤷🏼‍♂️

    @Kevin frazier and I have been trading info on tire pressure recommendations and, as you'd expect from the motorcycle community, the information from experts is conflicting. Interested to see what others are doing- sticking to the manual, or going your own way. I will say that I have stayed...

    Raboconda Tire Changer for 240 rear wheel?

    Looking at getting the Raboconda tire changer. I like how portable it is. Not sure how effective it is on the Rocket rear wheel or what spindle adapter to get for the rear hub size. Has anyone here tried to use it for their Rocket tires?

    Tire Pressure question

    I don't understand how hard it is to get a solid number for tire PSI. I have Metzeler ME 888s, so I read the sidewall. All I can find there is something printed about max load and max pressure. But it doesn't say what to inflate the tire to. Metzeler website says to refer to owners manual...

    Planning ahead for my first tire change

    I have read every post I could find about tire options and the Exedra Max for the rear seems like a good choice as lots of folks here really like them. What would be a good matching option for the front? Obviously I'll still be running the Avon in the front for a while but both being radials...

    Front Tire Defect at 300 miles

    New bike with a little over 300 miles. Trying to get some joy before the cold hits, and the Rocket gets grounded. Considering Avon pomp and circumstance (and cost) who would have ever thought? I am hopeful there isn't a frivolous warranty struggle as my dealership experience is good so far.

    Cant find a place to buy a new back tire.

    Hello all, Unfortunately my dealer says they're unavailable. I've had no luck finding a back tire for sale online in the US. Anyone have any solutions? Thank you in advance.

    BunBurner 1500 questions.

    Good day, I am attempting a 1500 Gold with some buddies next Wednesday. We plan to leave at 2000 and ride to the tail of the dragon, then hit the charalloa parkway then a bit of the BRP then rip it on back to the coast to hit the 1500 MI mark. My only concern is my rear tire. I called the...

    V vs H Tire Rating

    Lots of folks here insist you should only run V rated tires on the Rockets. Lately I went to Shinko on the 3R and have been happy with them, but they only have an H rating. There've been some posts recently on tire choices for both the 2.3 and 2.5s and the V vs. H rating has come up. Here's a...

    Noob tire size question

    Hi friends, hope all is well! The riding season is fast approaching in Canada and I wanted to get my tires swapped as soon as possible. Ive decided on buying the Avon Cobra Chromes. The price is a little steep, but seems to be the right choice for my 2016 Roadster. based on research. I'm a...

    3R/GT Tire Choices

    Not one to leave well enough alone, I'm experimenting with different tires on my 2020 3R. I'm interested to hear of other's experiences and sharing information. Front tire Avon Cobra Chrome 150/80R-17 (stock) - $244.88 at Rocky Mountain ATV - I'm just not a fan of Avon, despite the very cool...

    Front tire

    My '15 Rocket was converted to a trike years back, time for a new front tire. Calls for a 150 80 R17, would like something a little skinnier up front but concerned about the weight of the bike, your thoughts ?

    Mounting an Exedra Max rear tire on the new 3R = Better Handling

    This is a DIY install of the Exedra Max on the new 3R. It requires minor modifications to the forward most rear fender and, if doing it yourself, a tire stand and Mojo Lever - I'd say about a two beer rating for time/difficulty. The result, in my opinion, is a less expensive tire that provides...

    Tire fitment

    I have found a great price for a 180/65-16 rear tire for my 2013 RIII touring. Does anybody know if the drop from a 70 to a 65 will affect how the tire fits on the bike? Clearance shouldn't be a problem, but...better safe than sorry! I know that the drop in size will cause about a 2mph error...

    First nail in the 240 rear tire

    With a massive wide tire, is this a common thing? Only have 1600 miles on it and not ready to replace it. Of course I'm aware this might kick off the old tire plug debate:sneaky:
