    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

    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,

    Yes it does and I'll try the 32-34 psi in the tire. Thank you Ernie

    If you were riding a Harley, I could see it. I think I read somewhere they vibrate pretty bad.
