I have been away from the Darkside for about 1 1/2 years. Mounted a Pirelli Snow Control this weekend. Glad to be back!!!

I'm pretty impressed by how well this Pirelli is holding up. I'm at 42,653 miles now from the 23,270 mile when I installed this one and sitting with 5/32 tread depth. I'm still running 32 psi.
Not to bad
Here I am enjoying the Tale of the Dragon.

I have one question why the winter tire? I am ready to replace tires, I am still wondering darkside?
The winter tire rubber is a softer rubber, which provides me a more softer comfortable ride.
I made the switch to a car tire back in 2002 that I put on my, two tone blue and silver Valkyrie Interstate, which everyone knows is the fastest color. I had my Valkyrie for 14 years.
Anyways, knowing how well a car tire performs, when I got this F6B, I knew I was going to run a car tire again, so I did a lot of research, reading the message boards, the Goldwing Riders had very good information, also I watched YouTube video reviews from the many tire manufacturers.
With all this information, I decided I wanted to try a winter tire. And so I did, and I decided to go with a run flat.
I am very satisfied with my choice.
Hope this helps,
Also, I highly recommend balancing beads. I used 2oz

Can I add balancing beads and leave the wheel weights on?
ITS ALL GOOD
If you were riding a Harley, I could see it. I think I read somewhere they vibrate pretty bad.
