Wanderer Posted September 14, 2009 #1 Posted September 14, 2009 Just thought if any were interested this is the federal, but they have the kumho when in stock. I went ahead and ordered the Federal,
pegscraper Posted September 15, 2009 #2 Posted September 15, 2009 Federal is what I've been riding on for the past couple years. I had DBTires put white walls on mine.
Wanderer Posted September 15, 2009 Author #3 Posted September 15, 2009 I've got approx 8k on the oem Dunlops and they are holding up better than I suspected, but they are also like a tank of gas, you get to that half way point and they go fast. I'm not gonna take any chances \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\.
BigBoyinMS Posted September 15, 2009 #4 Posted September 15, 2009 That's the first good pic that I have seen of the Federal. The tread design looks good.
Wanderer Posted September 15, 2009 Author #5 Posted September 15, 2009 That's the first good pic that I have seen of the Federal. The tread design looks good. That's what I thought. Nice water grooves. I'm looking forward to giving the darkside a ride.
Wanderer Posted September 21, 2009 Author #6 Posted September 21, 2009 The Federal is according to the dealer on National back order so I let him send me the Nexxen. Hope I didn't screw up here. They look ok and I haven't heard to much bad about them. Should arrive this week. Then I have to find some one brave enough to mount them.
eagleeye Posted September 21, 2009 #7 Posted September 21, 2009 I put a Nexen on my RSTD this spring and have 11M on it. I don't think about it anymore, Run 40psi. Sticks like glue on the curves and soft on the road. When you first put a CT on, you will notice everything. That will go away. Enjoy, Steve
Wanderer Posted September 21, 2009 Author #8 Posted September 21, 2009 Thanks Steve, I've also been following some of your posts.
Kirby Posted September 24, 2009 #9 Posted September 24, 2009 I' like for some of you guys to post a picture of the tire swap. A friend of mine as well as myself are interested in this also. We're both nearing a tire change and would like to see the end results as well as hear about the whole experience!!! He has a 06 Goldwing and I have a 09 RSV.

He has a 06 Goldwing and I have a 09 RSV. Not the red one? I haven't got mine yet, but as soon as I do I'll fill you in on all the details.
eagleeye Posted September 24, 2009 #11 Posted September 24, 2009 Not sure what you mean by tire swap, but I did take a few. Notice the can of WD-40, that is what I ended up using to get the bead to seat. (in the first photo you see suds, I started by using dawn and water) Steve
