Federal 595 in a size 245/55/16 air pressure of 30psi solo or two up bumped up to 32 when I have the camper on and running a Dunlop Elite 3 in std size of 155/80/17 air pressure of 42psi good combination for me

Here we go again!!!

@GRAMPY there's absolutely no point asking that question. If you think it's a good idea to put a car tyre on a motorcycle, just do it. If you must, go and read some previous discussions about it, but I warn you all you'll see is opinion presented as fact and fact shot down in flames. You already know which way you want to go but don't realise it yet.

Go for it Grampy, a good one that I have is a General Altimax HP, 32 psi. will be one of the best things you do to your bike.
Ive also been called stupid, uneducated about car tires on bikes but I,m sticking to being a Darksider.
There are plenty guys here that have never done it, but seem to know everything about DS tires.

 

[idk]

113,000 miles on the DS and it works for me, but your results may vary.

I have just wore out another front. I put 420 miles.on it this weekend and it was danged near a slick when I left. Its my second Dunlop 404 and it handles well with the Riken dark side. Shopping this week. Any suggestions accompqnied by your price paid.

Avon azaro turned around as it is a rear originally great as a front but with DS I do not know you decide

 

[GRAMPY]

yEAH GUYS i'VE HAD AGOOD READ THROUGH AND MOST REMARKS INDECATE ADVANTAGES. especially milage life.. so Yeah I get that, and opinions are like belly buttons---- we all have 'em..
But How did the catagory get to be named ---- "The Dark Side" ????

Sorry about large case-- bloody eye is dodgey

The larger, square, black contact patch of a CT (at least when riding on straight and/or level roads) + unconventional thought and practice of using one, either deemed evil to advocate to others and/or dangerous to practice = motorcycliing's Dark Side
