Discount Tire

[olegoat345]

Car tires aren't made for MC's & MC tires are not made for cars. To me, it's a apples & oranges deal.
After following a buddy on a CT, the "dark side " is not for me...... I fail to see the "up side" of the "dark side." A little extra tire mileage, not worth the risk.

Amen brother two completely different designs and dynamics...not the same

I have not seen any data that a car tire on a mc is any more dangerous than a mc tire. I wish somebody could show me evidence of an accident that can be attributed to a car tire. Not could have or might have been the cause, but real hard evidence.

So after 3 blowouts with MC tires in the rear, and not sustaining injuries, but having to deal with all related BS to get it fixed and or towed, I saw the light .

No, I have been considering it for a while and been looking for the legal ramifications if any.

Been not able to locate any proof that a DOT-approved tire on a DOT rim is in violation of any kind, and supporting evidence from trikes and current non trike owners who go Darkside seems to bolster that theory.

Neither did I find any evidence of Insurance claims not being processed for Darkside in use and involved in accidents and made to be the culprit.

So for a more hassle-free solution, I selected an RF Pirelli, and because Pirelli uses a bit softer contact rubber(lower treadwear factor) but potentially better road contact, I know from previous sport car experiences.

So American Tires agreed on mounting Cinturato P7 RF for $25, and $29 road hazard policy, tx and Mil discount=$191 out the door.

Just wondering about the ideal tire pressure, any current owners who want to enlighten me, I carry moderate luggage (read as riding with a passenger, although I never have one) and like to go fast 80 + on average.

Welcome to the Darkside.

Air up your run flat to 28 psi and try that. I run 28 psi in my Pirelli run flat and it is marvelous.
