245 car tyre on lowered rocket

After Hanso's suggestion I went online to search. Pretty much found what you were saying about the "exact" sizes. The sites I was on didn't have the best reviews for the Bridgestones (sidewall issues?), but the Cobra was twice the price. Reviews did give the Cobra better grip, especially in the turns, but had slide out problems on hard braking? Never really want to do that, but always want to know I'll be safe (as possible) when I need to!
All that is caveat-ed with the fact they were multiple types of bikes and riders doing the reviews and only a few sites (sales). I think if you guys are riding the rocket on the Exerdra, and particularly if you've tried both, I'll take those reviews with a little more weight. Luckily, in no hurry! But I definitely fit the need for a "no brainer" :D

Also, didn't mean to highjack the dark side thread!!
make sure if you are reading reviews on the Excerdra it is the "Max" as the earlier Exerdra's did have issues Richard actually has used both the Ex' Max and the Cobra and found he got better grip and tyre life out of the Brigdestone you will also find that a lot of guys are running the Cobra on the front and also there are some that using the Michelin (which is slightly smaller) but are likeing it I am running a Cobra and am quite happy with it and will be possibly trying the Michelin next may even try out a Brigdy on the back but it will have to be Good to give the grip I have now and boy if it aint up to scratch boy the the Anti Darksiders will Cop it :D, the secret to going Darkside (apart from set the right airpressure) is not to think of it as a square tyre as it does not have the hinge effect you get with a bike tyre that has worn a bit to much in the middle after a long haul on some freeway, mmmm:rolleyes: think outside the square you may be delightfully surprised:cool:
