    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

    Oh, I was reading past posts about the Darkside recently, and I came across your question. I didn't see it back then when you posted it.

    I have about 20K I conservatively estimate on my Michelin Primacy Alpine 3. Last week I ordered a 195/55R-16 Pirelli Winter Snowcontrol Serie 3 Run Flat 210 from Tirerack.com for $162.00 shipped. Should be getting that tomorrow. I do have a spare wheel that I will have it mounted on.

    I think I still have adequate tread depth left for the upcoming Franklin, NC trip. Here is a current pic of the Michelin that's on it.

    I played momentarily with the idea of getting another Bridgestone G704 radial but then came to my senses. Why pay almost twice as more for a M/C tire, when these car tires give you way, way better longevity, and the same (if not better) performance for cruisers as what we ride here?
