They don't like it but they'll do it. Afterall they don't want to turn away $$

It is really hit or miss as to who will mount a car tire.
Don't count on the dealer being willing to do it.
I had no luck going to regular tire shops near me.
I finally found a Yamaha dealer that would mount the car tire (for $50!) because they have done it for many Gold Wing riders.

The local tire shops near me will mount any tire that fits the rim for $20. How far are you from Big H?

About 1700 miles in NJ ;-)
Since the CT costs less than half and lasts 3 times longer, $50 is not so hard to take.

Ha, you know I didn't even realize I could move it (License plate) up. First thing when I get home tonight it's going up. I want to show off the massive tire. Only real difference I've noticed while riding is I lean my body just a little more at slow speed turning, next I\ll have to shoot up the local Ogden canyon and see how it floats.![20160506_165434[1].jpg](https://www.r3owners.net/attachments/20160506_165434-1-jpg.34900/ "20160506_165434[1].jpg")

I'm joining the Darkside tomorrow. I picked up a BFGoodrich g-Force Sport COMP-2, size 225/55-16 today. Pulled the rear wheel tonight, drop it off tomorrow. Back tire was toast...embarrassed to admit that the cords were showing. Went downhill fast, bit over 7k on the stock tire.
