I had 14000 on my bike and I knew I was going to Sturgis at the end of July. I'm planning to put 5000 miles on my trip. I looked and read a lot of threads about CT. So this is why I chose to run a CT......A much better ride and more miles per tire. I chose a Run Flat because I can run lower air pressure...In turn a better ride..If you chose to go to the DS RF tire you can play with your air pressure to your liking...I'm running about 30-32lbs. This my also depend on your weight...But 30-32 great for me I'm running Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position RFT on the rear
