    Update on the replacement BT46. It is worse than the first one!
    It is a bias ply tire so its not gonna ride that good.
    In my personal opinion, Its JUNK.
    Even if it was on the back of the right bike, the right application, You would still feel the bounce.
    The stealer dealer charged me $66 to mount and balance it.
    It has 2oz of weights on it and still needed another half oz when I checked it at home on my balancer. But I didnt add any weight to it.
    I wanted to ride it as is.
    Im gonna call Denis Kirk tomorrow and beg for mercy and hope they give me a refund and buy a set of OEM tires.
    Im done......
    ITS ALL GOOD

    Man I'm sorry to hear about your bad luck with this tire. Zero problems with mine thankfully. The shop that installed mine balanced it, then I added "Ride On" for puncture resistance and balancing.
    It seems like manufacturing and shipping are both falling apart right now. I'm told tires for Bushtec trailers are unavailable and may stay that way for quite some time. No one seems to have enough workers and there are/were shortages of some basic items necessary to industry. I don't know that this has anything to do your problems with these tires but it might. I've certainly seen a drop in quality and timely arrival of many items needed in industry.
