Maybe we can put a general Dark Side sticky together that will answer most questions. Similar to Steve's new owners page?????
I am considering going Dark Side and have a few questions. I have a spare rim so I wont be fully committed if I don't like it or I can use it only on long trips to save my motorcycle tire.
If you could vote on these questions????
What is the current best tire to buy?
Do you use the run flats?
Will a motorcycle dealer mount the Dark Side tire?
How does it handle compared to a motorcycle tire?
Is it better or worse in the twisities?
Is it better at high speed on the highway?
Is it better or worse in the rain?
Is there more or less tire noise?
Do you run Dark Side on both front and rear?
Do you use it all the time or just on long trips?
What tire pressure do you use?
Please add any other comments you may have related to the Dark Side?
Thank you in advance,Steve


Check out the "Dark Side" section here on this Forum. It is all the way down on the bottom of the main Forum page.
That may answer some of your questions. BUT I don't think there is a definite answer to most your questions, so a sticky will not help someone on the fence get the info they need to make a decision.


Yes I run a car tire and have for over 50,000 miles on two different bikes.
NO I did not do it for high mileage ( I typically get 18,000 out of mine) or a cheaper tire. If you really want the info just ask me or anyone that does run a CT...
