Going to try it

[Yammer Dan]

WE need a list of sizes and Brands that will do this. I do my own mounting and balancing. From what I hear could have a time with this. Just one size works for this or is there room for a little playing? I'm betting not. I haven't looked into it much but that mileage got my attention. If I get 5k out of a rear it is Great!! What is most popular Brand and size??

I put a 165/80R15 Nankang CX668 on my bike about 2 months ago and I've been playing with tire pressures up and down the spectrum and haven't found the sweat spot yet. I've been up at 43/44 and down to 30 and I can't get ride of the high-speed wobble, but it could be the tire design as well. I have a new MC tire sitting in the garage but figured I'd give this a shot and found the tire for $50.

So what I draw from the video is that the CT was not able to hold a line in the curves and twice crossed over a double yellow center line. Or was that an optical delusion on my part?

Are you inferring you might be delusional?

 

I can't imagine the driver had anything to do with any of hat.....

One of my concens with the Voyager was I would get even less miles out of rear tires. If I keep it right and go Dark I guess That won't be a problem. I just get no miles out of rear tires. Growing up is not a option. Ain't gonna happen. If I ride right hand is busy!! 5k on a rear is a lot for me.... And No it hasn't figured in any of my accidents.

 

I agree, use of the right hand has little to do with the close calls, its always the other #@$#@r!

If you decide to leave that tire on remember this:

 

The tire will WAY out last the grease on the drive splines. Don't forget to service them periodically.

Yup, that is right, and in fact when I switched out my first CT, is was because I took off the rear wheel to lube the splines, and discovered it was wore out.

The Honda grease don't stick around??

Am I wrong in the thinking that when you lean into a curve it comes up on the very edge of the tire.

Yes, this is truly what happens. I have a couple photos of MCs, one with a car tire and one with a MC tire, that I downloaded off of Killboy, that illustrate this quite dramatically. If I think about it I'll upload them.

I'm running the Nexen car tire on the rear of my 07 but I don't have any pics. I put it on this past spring and have 11,503 miles on it (just looked). I did a saddlesore 1000 (1100 miles) not long after the install, wife n I rode from west Ky to Canada Niagara Falls n back (2200 miles), I went to the WNY rally (1700), and a lot of local miles. I'm guessing I'll get another 8-10k out of it. Soon as it's worn out I'll put another one on it.

I'm still running a BFG TA radial 155/80-15 on my 05 RSTD

@Freebird so just cross it you like it and continued use or switched back. What size tire was it?

[Freebird]

Sorry. You’ve got me mixed up with somebody else.  I’ve never run a car tire.
