    The BT-45 is a popular choice for a CT on the front.
    Drive Jehu took that configuration to the Arctic Circle & back.

    The BT-45 is actually a REAR MT mounted and run on the front. Some folks have this tire mounted with the side wall Directional Arrow in the opposite direction of normal! I have my BT-45's mounted with the Arrow in the normal position. Having well over 45K miles on BT-45's, I'm currently on my third tire and will continue using this setup on my 6. When mounted the 45 is actually 1/4" narrower than the OEM Tire and is a great "corner carver" when compared to the OEM.

    Thanks Bob! I had thought (assumed!) it was a CT after reading some posts.

    Discount Tire in Ocala refused to mount the tire that was purchased from them on line (see original post). The seemed not to care about it being a care tire going on a MC rim. The said they do not mount anything on MC rims.

    Mom & Pop Tire Shops are your best source for Dark Side mounting! Try several and you'll have success! When you do find the right shop don't forget a good cash tip. They'll be glad for your business and generosity!
