Curious as to how many of you are DS Riders? What bike/bikes you have a CT mounted to, brand of tire, tire size and air pressure (sweet spot) you are running?
I'll start with my current and previous bikes.
2013 F6B General G-MAX 195/55-R16 40psi
2008 Yamaha RSTD Federal 165/80-R15 34psi
2007 Yahama Stratoliner Goodyear Assurance TT 215/60-R17 32psi
I just installed a Michelin Pilot 195/55/16 on the F6 and let me tell you I'll never go back to a motorcycle tire again! The feeling of stability in a straight line is unbelieveable, cornering is no problem at all and in the rain the stopping traction is beyond compare. Yes I'll tell the world I AM A DARKSIDER !!!!!
I was a darksider on my 1800 vtxput about 15,000 on it a little over a yr of riding
but went back to the mc tire( cant rember what I put on but it was what most of the vtx riders were using). The ct was just not for me ride a couple of construction zones an wow wake up call
. Rode the dragon with it just not comfortable went back a yr later with my wife as a passenger with a mc tire felt like valentio rossie
ok maybe not valentino but felt a lot more controllable a lot of riders tried it an liked it i'm just not 1 of them.
See my signature. I'll go to the darkside again when the rear shows enough wear.

I'm curious on the pros/cons of run flat tires.
