tire

I'm traveling back home after 3 weeks touring & my rear tires too thin. Having trouble finding anyone in Kansas city with a 180/70R 16. I'm currently running an Avon 200/60R 16. All I can find is a Dunlop 200/55R 16 & a 180/60R 16. Can anyone tell me if either of these will work on my 2014...

I've been on the fence about going to the Darkside and putting a car tire on my 14 R3T. I can see how it would get better tread life on flat Street roads but I live in Eastern Tennessee and the roads are far from straight. I ride the Tail of the Dragon, Copperhead run, the snake and all the...

After hearing from others about woes of tire changes, I figured screw it, I'm jumping in.. I already have a automotive tire changer, went online and purchased the hard plastic bead clamp protectors and other associated wear parts for my old tired machine. I'm going to have a try at changing my...

I put on a little over 500 miles this last weekend riding with some friends...I got to follow a Slingshot and a fully traxxioned Goldwing on Saturday, lets say the pace was fairly quick and I was very surprised by the handling characteristics of the rocket...

Who does it and tell us how. This topic has been touched on in the past, but I'm not sure it's been fully explored. Just in the last week I'm reading about @sonny getting his rim manked (it's happened to me twice this year) at a shop and talk of a rear tire change demo at the Maggie Valley...

I was hoping to replace my Excedra Max before RAA. Rocky Mountain ATV has them on back order. Where is the next best place for a good price?

As most of you know i rode darkside for many years, now i have this tire that my friend Bud gave me, should i replace it before MV or will it be ok

Ahoy mates. I have 16" tires front and rear on stock wheels. Any experience with with changing the size from 150-80/16 to 140-85/16? I am having challenges turning the bike at lower speeds and understand that a thinner tire helps make that easier.

For $587.00 dollars this tires had better be really good. Ordered a set tonight. They had better be a big improvement over the past series. That and a rad cover black lower from Hermy's is getting a bit. $59.96 for that. Mine was cracked from road debris. Went to work today due to rain. Nothing...

Has anyone has trouble sourcing a rear tire? I was told by my tire guy that all three of our rear options are now discontinued and the only avon made a replacement. 350$...I bought a last stock online...anyone else experience this? Validate this?

For those interested in why tire changes have a positive handling affect on your Roadster . . . The OEM set of the rear axle lower than the front axle sux HUGE! Getting the front axle lower than the rear is paramount to good handling. I finally finished up calculations and scale CAD drawing...

I have a rear tire with a lot of meat on it as well as a nail in it. :banghead: It is causing a slow leak so it has to be repaired. Is it safe to pull the nail and plug it or should I trash the tire?

I haven't posted one of my crazy ideas in a while so here goes another one. I just finished making this tire roller dolly to be used on my next rear tire change. The last time I removed and put the rear tire on myself I was fighting for two hours trying to get it back on. Much of the time was...

Two months since a shop damaged one of my Rocket rims... Way to fix tire iron dents from shop? and I take the rear wheel from my 1998 Thunderbird Sport to a different shop and get this... The rims were painted with black Plastic Dip some time ago and are flaking and need to be redone, or...

I had my tire replaced last week at GoAZ in Peoria, AZ. When I get on the bike to leave I noticed that the abs light is on, no big deal and it's late so I go home. This was Thursday of last week. Saturday I head into work no problems, then on the way home there is a traffic stoppage so I mash...

Michelin Commander II in 140/75R17 In Tacoma, WA unopened and still in original wrapping. Come and get it for a great deal - no shipping. Cost me $147.00 sell to you for $100.00. I'll even buy the lunch!

Well, just came back from getting my rear tire mounted. Thought I'd try a new shop. This one wanted $35 to mount and balance if I brought the wheel in, but of course they couldn't balance it. They scratched and dented my rims with the tire tool. I saw them struggling with their machine and...

So I put almost 7,000 miles on my stock Metzelers and am now looking for replacement rubber front and back. After reading the advice from the Captains on this forum, in addition to having the privilege and opportunity to ride Ozrider's scoot for a day, I've already ordered a Bridgestone Excedra...

Well I have now put over 3,000 miles on my new Michelin Road 5 tire. Tis a 150/70ZR17(69W) rear tire run backwards on the front of my 2012 R3R. I have finally found a tire as good and likely better than the Avon Azaro. I love the twisties and at 72 years, I have yet to outgrow the extreme fun...

The Marathon ME880 tire is garbage. only tracked 5000 easy miles on it. Except the last 100miles. I was riding over 100mph for over 2 hours. (Im guessing i got them tires nice and hot) And took one exit ramp. probably going about 40mph. :eek:completely raped the soft rubbers.:banghead:14r3r by...
