I'm ready, the evil forces have beckoned me.... I'm about to order my tire, I'm looking at the General G-MAX A/S 03 (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...R6GMAS03&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes) Has anyone tried it, correct me if I'm wrong but it seems that 225/55 is the best size to go with.....ANY AND ALL INPUT WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

Nice looking tread pattern. I have not used that one so can't comment on it.

225/55-16 is the size to go for.

Don't just go by size. Tire rack gives total width. Different tire manufacturers of same size tire has different total width. I learned the hard way.

Slidderhd, Do you happen to know the ideal width and height? And by the way, I love that you have a link to CMA on your posts, God bless you brother!

I am having this mounted on Saturday:

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Yokohama&tireModel=AVID+ENVigor+(H-+or+V-Speed+Rated)&sidewall=Blackwall&partnum=255VR6ENVXL

I got the runaround the last couple of days looking for an Auto Tire place to mount it.
What a pain in the ass.

Found a Bike Dealer that has done Car Tires for Gold Wings, so happy days.

jrock,
please let me knowhow it feels...... I like the idea of more surface area to the pavement....... I am new to the r3t with 800 miles. I will get now to get used to the tire quirks.....
