    Goodyear Has Sold Dunlop to Another Tire Company

    "So Goodyear, Dunlop, and Sumitomo's history goes way back. Sumitomo had acquired the Dunlop rights to the Dunlop name, as well as the rights to manufacture and market Dunlops in 1985. But in that deal, it didn't acquire the actual company. It was only later that Goodyear and Sumitomo struck a...

    2.5 Tire Availability

    What the "heck" is up with tires and this bike? First, it was Avons (never liked 'em anyway) and now that the Metzler Cruistecs are the new official tire you can't find the rear in retailers anywhere. I just called Metzler to find out when/where and they are supposed to call me back- I'd be...

    Tire Gel Bad!

    For some unknown reason even to myself I decided to put tire gel on my rubbers only to wonder where all those greasy little specs came from. I have never used that crap before on anything probably mostly due to the fact that I hate cleaning vehicles, especially wheels. So here I'm using a dish...

    Tire Pressure - Who TF Knows? 🤷🏼‍♂️

    @Kevin frazier and I have been trading info on tire pressure recommendations and, as you'd expect from the motorcycle community, the information from experts is conflicting. Interested to see what others are doing- sticking to the manual, or going your own way. I will say that I have stayed...

    Raboconda Tire Changer for 240 rear wheel?

    Looking at getting the Raboconda tire changer. I like how portable it is. Not sure how effective it is on the Rocket rear wheel or what spindle adapter to get for the rear hub size. Has anyone here tried to use it for their Rocket tires?

    Tire Pressure question

    I don't understand how hard it is to get a solid number for tire PSI. I have Metzeler ME 888s, so I read the sidewall. All I can find there is something printed about max load and max pressure. But it doesn't say what to inflate the tire to. Metzeler website says to refer to owners manual...

    Planning ahead for my first tire change

    I have read every post I could find about tire options and the Exedra Max for the rear seems like a good choice as lots of folks here really like them. What would be a good matching option for the front? Obviously I'll still be running the Avon in the front for a while but both being radials...

    Front Tire Defect at 300 miles

    New bike with a little over 300 miles. Trying to get some joy before the cold hits, and the Rocket gets grounded. Considering Avon pomp and circumstance (and cost) who would have ever thought? I am hopeful there isn't a frivolous warranty struggle as my dealership experience is good so far.

    Cant find a place to buy a new back tire.

    Hello all, Unfortunately my dealer says they're unavailable. I've had no luck finding a back tire for sale online in the US. Anyone have any solutions? Thank you in advance.

    BunBurner 1500 questions.

    Good day, I am attempting a 1500 Gold with some buddies next Wednesday. We plan to leave at 2000 and ride to the tail of the dragon, then hit the charalloa parkway then a bit of the BRP then rip it on back to the coast to hit the 1500 MI mark. My only concern is my rear tire. I called the...

    V vs H Tire Rating

    Lots of folks here insist you should only run V rated tires on the Rockets. Lately I went to Shinko on the 3R and have been happy with them, but they only have an H rating. There've been some posts recently on tire choices for both the 2.3 and 2.5s and the V vs. H rating has come up. Here's a...

    3R/GT Tire Choices

    Not one to leave well enough alone, I'm experimenting with different tires on my 2020 3R. I'm interested to hear of other's experiences and sharing information. Front tire Avon Cobra Chrome 150/80R-17 (stock) - $244.88 at Rocky Mountain ATV - I'm just not a fan of Avon, despite the very cool...

    Front tire

    My '15 Rocket was converted to a trike years back, time for a new front tire. Calls for a 150 80 R17, would like something a little skinnier up front but concerned about the weight of the bike, your thoughts ?
