the standard darkside tire

[hegels]

I know riken raptor was popular a few years ago when i started looking at the rocket 3 as an option but is that what people are still running? is there something better?

im interested in what people are using

... is there something better?...

Absolutely, it's called a motorcycle tire!

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

See they don't even bite anymore.

Thats the good thing about this site everyone has there own views and you can voice them. As long as you don't try to force them down everyones throat all's good.

 

[TriumPhil]

Amen to that!

Only bite when people try to make out that darksiders don't know what they are doing then I go for the throat

I was running through heavy rain, very heavy, last night on treacherous mountain roads well after dark and while vivid lightning was hitting all about I started laughing hysterically like a mad man because I had no rain gear on and I was drenched and punching the Rocket at 70 through the torrents and the Riken Raptor just kept putting HP to asphalt admirably. Never broke loose and handles very well. Per tdragger I started running the Dunlop 404 up front and they hook up well together.
The odd thing is there were zero HD Chromos on the mountains last night but I was lookin for a Victory or two to pull up alongside
