Just ordered and new Parelli 205/60-16 tire. Putting it on my 2008 touring. Anyone have experience with it? I’m mostly doing it because now that i have done some mods I can’t keep from burning the back tire. Hopefully the car tire gets more traction? What you guys think???

Welcome to the darkside. We've got cookies.
 
Hahah that’s the best reply I have ever heard. Thank you.
 
I've been riding with Yokohama Envigor V rated 205/60/16 for years. It don't like going past 100 mph. Neither does the highway patrol so I keep it under 80 and I'm fine.
 
Most interesting. When I had my 07 Classic going to the dark side seemed fairly common because of the 240 rear tire but I didn't realize Touring riders were doing it to. Hmmmm.

So is Skanska's tire choice a good one? I'll be very interested to see how you like it.

I'll but going dark on my 2011 DL650 VStrom because I hacked it and putting a CT on a sidecar rig is very common for obvious reasons.
 



It's nice outside, Let Ride !
