Seems no one can answer the question. I wasn't asking about your opinions on darkside riding. I was asking those in the know what tires they found best. If you know nothing about riding darkside you may be well advised to learn a bit then speak. I have had my Rocket for 17 years. and 15 other bikes currently and been riding 60 years. I have done countless miles on darkside on the Rocket. It works and on the Avon's I ran before she let go out of hard corners on hard accel. The car tire never has. I got 3000 k's out of Avons and 29,000ks from CT's.
