Trying a new Darkside on the B...Bridgestone Driveguard Runflat.
If anyone has read my message on the General Board, they will know my OEM back tire
blew a sidewall after a plug let go and the tire got hot.
I've been looking over my options and decided to go with a Bridgestone Driveguard Run Flat.
It seems to have mostly good reviews by the cagers who've used them. I'm not advocating anyone else run out and get one-yet. I should be able to get mine mounted in the next few days and then I'll give some reports after that.
It has an AA rating and is only gonna cost me $115 from my local Flatso's to check it out.
If anyone wants to check out the ratings/reviews, specs...here's a link from Tirerack.
Scroll all the way down and you can see it has pretty good traction ratings and it's got a very good overall rating.

Best Car Tire If Towing a Trailer??
I haul an Aspen camper trailer behind my F6B and wanted to know if anybody who tows a trailer has some advice for me on which car tire works best for my bike. Like many on this forum I owned a Harley Street Glide and tried a regular (non-run flat) car tire but it was downright dangerous when towing because the trailer was wagging the bike. I went back to a motorcycle tire and it towed the trailer with no issues. I had played with many tire pressures but couldn't get it to tow straight.
Now I am thinking about installing a car tire but don't want to spend the money unless I know it's going to work well. Up here in Canada the best price on a Dunlop motorcycle tire for the F6B is $240.00 where a car tire is closer to $150.00 CAD.
