Dark Side Tires for 2013 Roadster

[HansO]

Your logic falls flat because I can lean side to side with a passenger vehicle tyre.

mmmmmm make that me +1, I don't recall having any problems along the GOR Pete

 

[ruzzle]

Yeah.... there's a few of us out there.....

Maybe Pete could find some 18" darksides for his BSTs....?????

YEP great idea you buy $6000 light weight CF wheels then you mount heavy car tires ??????

Makes about as much sense as spending $6200 on a high performance engine for an 800 pound cruiser.

yes indeed but it's not an smooth even transition , correct me if im wrong but it's pushing until banks over then over it go's unlike a round tyre that is an even transition to lean .but each to there own don't bother me Just my opinion thats all

Wrong Again Pete

I said that if it was any flatter it would be a Car tyre and that it did not have much rubber over on edges for banking over as evident by the fact you had started going over the edge leaving road marks on wrong side of the edge of sidewall, I also mentioned that @ponters Michelin had a better more rounded profile which would give more grip when laid over

i may of got the michelin but the front is size of 130/70 18 is only H rated and it's a bias not radial while the rear is v and a radial not good to mix them like that. I went for a ride round some twisty road just scraping the pegs and let me tell you the grip is better than the metzler even thought it's getting on the edge
